Israel's war cabinet, comprising Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and Benny Gantz, along with observers Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, Gadi Eisenkot, and Aryeh Deri, commenced a crucial meeting on Sunday just before 4 p.m. local time. This meeting follows Iran's launch of dozens of missiles towards Israel late Saturday, with Israel's military successfully intercepting the majority of the projectiles.
The situation escalated as Iran's aggressive actions prompted Israel to assess and determine its response strategy. The war cabinet, consisting of key political and defense figures, is tasked with deliberating on the appropriate course of action in light of the recent hostilities.
