Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said on Wednesday that his country's conflict with Iran is "far from over."
Speaking at an awards ceremony, Katz said: "If Iran attacks Israel, it will suffer a severe blow, just as we did a few days ago." He added that the Israeli military was prepared to "strike with great force."
Following Israeli strikes on alleged targets belonging to the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia in the suburbs of the Lebanese capital Beirut on Sunday, Iran fired missiles at Israel for the first time since a ceasefire came into force in early April.
Israel responded with several airstrikes. The two sides then halted their mutual attacks on Monday.
The Israeli military has since confirmed that the Ramat David airbase near the Israeli city of Haifa was hit during the Iranian missile strikes. However, it said only a non-critical area of the base was hit, and that there were no casualties.
