Israel will ‘respond forcefully’ to Iran attacks, Israeli official reportedly says; PM to hold security consult

Israel will “respond forcefully” to Iran’s missile attacks, senior Israeli officials tell Israel’s Channel 12 news.

The report says Israel “cannot allow” an equation whereby Iran fires on Israel after Israel tackles Hezbollah targets in Beirut.

There is no official Israeli response yet to the ongoing barrages.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and senior officials will reportedly hold a security assessment shortly.

According to Channel 13, officials have assessed during a discussion with Netanyahu that Tehran is not interested in a full-on escalation, but rather a more limited response to demonstrate its support for Hezbollah.
