A meeting between Israeli war cabinet officials over their response to Iran's retaliatory strikes has concluded, according to an Israeli official. The source did not provide any further details about the talks.
The discussion, which commenced at 12:30 p.m. local time (5:30 a.m. ET), marked the fifth round of talks held by the war cabinet since the weekend. This development follows Tehran's launch of a barrage of missiles in response to a suspected Israeli strike on an Iranian diplomatic building in Damascus, Syria.
Amid escalating tensions, regional leaders and allies of Israel have urged for restraint as Israel strategizes its next steps. The situation is delicate, with high-stakes efforts underway to prevent a broader escalation stemming from Israel's military operations in Gaza.
