There is a broad recommendation within the IDF to respond to the Iranian attack while minimizing risks and maximizing opportunities.

The IDF on Saturday commented regarding the retaliation against Iran for launching ballistic missiles toward Israel, clarifying that combat is currently ongoing on seven different fronts. Alongside the continued fighting in Gaza and the West Bank, Israeli soldiers and forces are engaged in operations in Lebanon, Iran, and its proxies in Yemen, Syria, and Iraq.

The struggle with Iran is viewed as a direct conflict, and it is expected that the Iranians will be preoccupied with their own affairs rather than just with their proxies in Lebanon, Syria, Gaza, Yemen, and Iraq.

The IDF plans to respond significantly but has not detailed the nature of that response. The IDF noted that the Iranians launched 201 missiles from Iran to Israel, some of which impacted targets.

Consequently, there is a broad recommendation within the IDF to respond to the Iranian attack while minimizing risks and maximizing opportunities.

An anonymous Israeli official stated that the military is “preparing a response” to Iran’s missile attacks, which could include a significant strike in Iran.

TEL AVIV: An Israeli official has said that the military is “preparing a response” to the Iranian missile barrage that targeted Israel earlier this week.

“The IDF [Israeli military] is preparing a response to the unprecedented and unlawful Iranian attack on Israeli civilians and Israel,” the military official told AFP on Saturday on condition of anonymity as he was not authorised to speak publicly on the issue.

He did not elaborate on the nature or timing of the response.

Israel’s left-leaning newspaper Haaretz, quoting the military, reported that the military’s response will be “significant”.

“The IDF is preparing for a significant strike in Iran following this week’s missile attack from Tehran,” the newspaper reported.

“The military does not rule out the possibility that Iran may launch missiles at Israeli territory again after the Israeli attack,” it added.
