The Chief of Staff at the Nabatim base: missiles into the territory of the State of Israel will be answered in response/IDF spokesman
Three days after Iran's unusual missile and drone attack, and the world is still waiting for Israel's response. While in the United States it was reported earlier this morning (Tuesday) that according to estimates Israel's response will be limited in scope, a senior security official said that "since we estimate that the Iranians did not say The IDF has the last word and is preparing for further moves."
The Israeli response can be divided into several areas:
A direct hit in a kinetic form or in the cyber space in the heart of Iran against military infrastructure or Iranian infrastructure supporting military activity
The wait is ready and the implementation of targeted countermeasures against Iranian personalities in the heart of Iran
Damage to Iranian interests throughout the Middle East and not necessarily in the heart of Iran by Iranian personalities. Since the beginning of the war, 17 Iranian personalities have been killed, including two senior ones
Damage to Iranian emissaries in a massive way, for example in weapons warehouses, personnel, weapon systems, infrastructure supporting terrorism and more

The security source hinted that anyone imagining broad attacks on Iranian interests should understand several important points. "The political echelon, as of now, has decided that the main arena of combat is the Gaza Strip. There is urgency. The intention is to apply pressure on Hamas because of the stalled process in the negotiations for the release of hostages." The
security source also said that for this purpose the IDF approved plans with the political echelon and is waiting for developments that are not related to the IDF but to the political level, but also said "a response has been decided. The Minister of Defense and the Chief of Staff have given their opinion. They have not yet decided on the way and the method, but they need to support the interests of the State of Israel at this time. Now let the Iranians do their calculations."
In addition, he said that no one at the top of the defense has any intention of putting up with the continuation of Iranian activity directly or through emissaries against Israel, and therefore moves will be made to support the Israeli view. "Since we estimate that the Iranians have not had the last word, the IDF is preparing for further moves," he said. Sources in the defense establishment emphasized that Iranian interests are in Iran but are also scattered in the Middle East and create many ways of action for Israel.
In the background of these things, Defense Minister Yoav Galant said During a telephone conversation with American Defense Minister Lloyd Austin, that "Israel has no choice but to respond to the Iranian attack" - this is what an American senior official and another source briefed on the details of the conversation said.
