The Israeli war cabinet has decided to retaliate "clearly and forcefully" against the missile and drone attack carried out by Iran on Saturday

The Israeli war cabinet has decided to retaliate "clearly and forcefully" against the missile and drone attack carried out by Iran on Saturday, per Times of Israel.

According to an unverified report from Channel 12, the war cabinet has allegedly decided to respond "clearly and forcefully" to Iran's missile and drone attack on Saturday night.

The retaliation is intended to convey the message that Israel will not tolerate such attacks without a response and to prevent Iran from establishing a pattern of strikes against Israeli targets in response to Israeli actions against Iran.

The report suggests that Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi advocate for a response that does not jeopardize the US-led coalition that supported Israel's defense against the Iranian attack.

Israel reportedly seeks to avoid sparking a regional conflict and plans to coordinate its response with the US. The war cabinet is expected to convene again tomorrow, and there have been no changes to Home Front command regulations, indicating that an Israeli attack is unlikely today.
