In an hours-long security meeting at the Kirya military headquarters in Tel Aviv last night, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came to key decisions — along with his top ministers, security and military officials — about the impending Israeli attack on Iran, an Israeli official tells The Times of Israel.
For now, says the source, the focus is on Iranian military facilities, but that could change.
Iran launched around 200 ballistic missiles last week, and Israel is expected to respond forcefully.
Officials tell the Kan public broadcaster that the meeting was “a decisive discussion about the Iranian issue.”
The next stage is a call between US President Joe Biden and Netanyahu later today.
