President Isaac Herzog tells Sky News in an interview that Israel is “considering all options,” in the wake of Iran’s attack last night in which it launched hundreds of attack drones and missiles.

“This is a declaration of war,” he says of the attack. “Now, because we are restrained and because we know the repercussions, and because we have deliberations with our partners, we are considering all options and I’m quite confident that we will take the necessary steps to protect and defend our people. We are not war seekers.”

He adds that last night’s attack is “just another example” of how Iran operates, “spreading havoc, terror, and instability all over the world.”

“It’s about time that the world faces this empire of evil in Tehran, and makes it clear to the Iranian regime that this cannot pass by, that this is unacceptable,” Herzog adds.
