Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Likud ministers during a private meeting earlier today that Israel will respond to Iran’s weekend attack, but must do so wisely and not from the gut, according to Kan public broadcaster.
He says Iran should have to wait nervously not knowing when the attack might come, just as it made Israel do the same, Netanyahu reportedly told the Likud ministers.
A senior Israeli official tells Kan that Israel will respond to Iran and that it is only a question of when and where.
The network says Israel committed to updating the US ahead of any strike in order to provide time for American troops in the region to prepare for Iranian retaliation.
The commitment came following anger in Washington that Jerusalem did not give it a proper heads up before striking a consular annex of Iran’s embassy in Damascus, killing several IRGC generals.
