Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called an emergency meeting of the security cabinet following mutual attacks with Iran. The Israeli press suggests that the decision to retaliate against Iran's missile attacks was made during overnight discussions, and reports indicate that the Tel Aviv administration is preparing to respond harshly to any further assaults. Israel also issued a threat message regarding potential attacks from Lebanon.
As tensions escalate hour by hour in the Middle East, it has been reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will convene his security cabinet with an extraordinary agenda.
Israel's Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper announced that the security cabinet will meet at 11:00. The agenda of the meeting is expected to include Iran's recent missile attacks, Israel's military operations, and the latest developments in the region.
RETALIATION DECISION MADE IN NIGHTTIME MEETINGS
The report stated that the Israeli army has increased its preparations for the continuation of conflicts, and that Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yisrael Katz held a series of meetings with senior military officials throughout the night.
It was claimed that the decision to respond to Iran's missile attacks was made during these meetings.
The Israeli army announced early in the morning that it had struck some targets in western and central Iran, while the Tehran administration responded with new missile attacks.
THREE WAVES OF MISSILE ATTACKS FROM IRAN
It was reported that Iran launched missiles at Israel in three waves during the night. Due to the attacks, sirens sounded in many cities in northern Israel, and citizens were directed to shelters.
The Israeli press wrote that approximately 10 missiles were launched from Iran. It was stated that Israel's air defense systems were activated and some missiles were intercepted in the air.
THREAT TO LEBANON AS WELL
In the Yedioth Ahronoth report, it was expressed that new attacks from Iran would be responded to "strongly."
The report also noted that in the event of any attack on Israel from Lebanon, the Dahiya area in southern Beirut would be targeted.
Previously, the Israeli army had carried out an airstrike on the Dahiya area of Beirut despite the ceasefire, and Iranian officials reacted to this attack, stating they would retaliate.
