Israel's defence minister warns strikes on Iran to increase 'significantly'

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz warned that the United States and Israel would intensify their strikes on Iran in the coming week, starting Sunday.

"This week, the intensity of the strikes to be carried out by the army and the U.S. military against the Iranian terror regime and the infrastructure on which it relies will rise significantly," Katz said in a statement issued by the defence ministry on Saturday.
