Iran's leader must beware of "a fate similar to Saddam Hussein's", threatens Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz.

I warn the Iranian dictator to stop committing war crimes, and sending rockets against Israel's civilians, says Katz, in statements addressed to Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei.

He should think about what happened to the dictator in Iran's neighboring country who acted similarly against Israel.

Iraq's then leader fired rockets against Israel during the Kuwait war in 1991. He was overthrown in a US-led invasion in 2003 and executed in 2006.

According to international law, civilians should be protected in war. However, judging from available news reports, Israel's attacks in Iran have so far claimed more civilian casualties than Iran's attacks against Israel.
