Halevi on Tuesday warned Iran not to pursue further attacks against Israel following targeted Israeli strikes on Iranian military targets over the weekend which were themselves a response to a massive ballistic missile attack launched by Tehran on October 1, 2024
Speaking to aircrews at the Ramon Air Base in southern Israel, Halevi said,

if Iran “makes the mistake and launches another barrage of missiles at Israel, we will once again know how to reach Iran”
Should Iran again attack, Halevi warned,
Quote
"Israel would “reach Iran, with capabilities that we did not even use this time and hit extremely hard both the capabilities and the places that we spared this time”

"the reason Israel held back when it struck Iranian missile factories and other sites on Saturday was because “we may be required to do it again”
“We didn’t finish this event, we are right in the middle of it”
In an hourslong operation early Saturday morning, dozens of Israeli aircraft targeted strategic military sites across Iran — specifically drone and ballistic missile manufacturing and launch sites as well as air defense batteries — with explosions reported in the Tehran, Karaj, Isfahan and Shiraz areas
A series of satellite images analyzed by the Associated Press on Tuesday also found that Israel likely struck a base run by the Revolutionary Guards for ballistic missile construction in Shahroud although the Israel Defense Forces did not identify it as a targeted location
