Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei threatens Israel for at least the third time today, this time in Hebrew.

“We must act with force against the terrorist Zionist entity,” Khamenei says on his Hebrew-language X account.

“We will not be merciful toward the Zionists,” he says, echoing a threat he made earlier in English. He also threatened Israel a few hours ago in Farsi.

יש לפעול בעוצמה נגד הישות הציונית הטרוריסטית.
לא ננהג בסלחנות כלפי הציונים.
