Israel’s War Cabinet has decided to take a “clear and effective” stance in response to an airstrike by Iran, as reported by Channel 12 Television on Monday. The report, which did not cite specific sources, highlighted the Israeli government’s determination to address what it perceives as a serious provocation.
According to the broadcast, the decision was made to convey a strong message that such significant attacks will not be tolerated and will face a decisive response. The nature of this response, however, aims not only to retaliate but also to avoid escalating the situation into a regional war or fracturing the coalition of allies that may be assisting against Iran.
The report also notes that Israel intends to coordinate with the United States, suggesting a strategic alignment with its longstanding ally to ensure the effectiveness and appropriateness of its response.
Further details are expected as the War Cabinet is expected to reconvene on Tuesday to finalise the specifics of the response.
