Israel's war cabinet, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, convened in a series of meetings to discuss a response to an Iranian attack. The initial meeting was scheduled for 12:30 after midnight local time and took place in a secure bunker beneath the Ministry of Defense in Tel Aviv, rather than the Prime Minister's Office, signaling the gravity of the situation. The cabinet is examining ways to respond to the Iranian aggression, with options including a significant reaction. A specific meeting was set for 3:30 pm local time (1230 GMT) to likely decide on a final response to what has been described as an 'unprecedented Iranian attack.' The discussions come after a retaliatory strike by Israel was called off following a conversation between Netanyahu and President Biden, highlighting the international dimension of the crisis. Israeli officials are considering various responses, aiming to align with US and Western partners to avoid escalating into a larger conflict. The U.S cautioned Israel against escalating the situation into a regional war.
