Israel's top general vows response to Iran's 'unprecedented' attack

Herzi Halevi, chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces, stated on Monday that a response is imminent following Iran's "unprecedented" missile and drone attack on Israel.

The announcement came during a video statement amid a meeting with pilots at the Nevatim Air Force base, which sustained mild damage from a ballistic missile during Iran's offensive over the weekend.

In recent days, Israel's wartime Cabinet has been deliberating over a potential counterstrike to Iran's actions. However, there is division regarding the timing and extent of such a response, especially under international pressure urging Israel to moderate its actions.
