Israel’s response to Iran’s ballistic missile attack is already a “done deal,” an Israeli official tells The Times of Israel.

Two officials say that the drone attack on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s home will not impact the scale or timing of the Israeli attack.

The security cabinet meeting in a half-hour will formally give Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant the authority to decide on the timing of the response, the officials say.
