Israel will receive a tough response for the killing of the head of the political bureau of the radical Palestinian movement Hamas Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, Lieutenant-General Sayyed Abdolrahim Mousavi, the Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian Army, has said.
"The Zionist regime will receive a slap in the face, which will be the retribution for the crime it has committed," he told the state-run IRIB TV channel at a farewell ceremony for Haniyeh in the Iranian capital.
Lieutenant-General Hossein Salami, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said at the same ceremony that "so far, not a single action of the Zionist regime has gone unanswered."
