President Isaac Herzog visited the site of a missile hit in Rishon Lezion, including the residence of a family in the central city, on Monday.
"This is the living room of a family where the cluster bomb fell straight into the living room, and you see the devastation. This is what I call the 'weapon of the weak,' the weapon of those who are just chickening out, those guys from Iran. They don't understand that what they're doing simply will bring more havoc on them," Herzog said at the scene.
"I adamantly believe that the people of Iran will wake up and rise up because they deserve so much better. They deserve so much better than this ruthless, brutal regime, which has only taken all their resources to spread havoc, terror, hate, and bloodshed all over the world. Well, that's over, and that's what we're fighting for," the president added.
First Lady Michal Herzog and other officials from the President's Office, Rishon Lezion municipality, and IDF visited alongside the president.
Herzog visits Arab town in northern Israel following missile hit
Previously, Herzog visited the town of Zarzir on Friday, where a recent Iranian missile had wounded nearly 60 people.
During his visit, Herzog was accompanied by the head of the Local Council, Atef Grifat, the head of the Forum of Northern Bedouin Councils, Monir Zibdat, and the Commander of the Haifa District in the Home Front Command, Col. Yakir Bukobza.
"A criminal Iranian missile landed here, one which did not distinguish between Jews and Arabs," the president said, "And I must say that what we see here is the expression 'We are all one nation - one fated nation.'"
Herzog lauded the Israeli Jewish and Arab communities' partnership in battling their shared enemies, mentioning both Hezbollah and Iran as existential threats seeking to destroy the country.
