Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has convened a meeting with a limited number of people to discuss Israel’s response to Iran’s missile attack earlier this month, according to an Israeli official. The meeting is currently underway at Israel’s military headquarters in Tel Aviv, the official said.
The meeting comes in the wake of heightened tensions between Israel and Iran following the missile attack, which targeted Israeli positions in the Golan Heights. The attack, believed to be carried out by Iranian forces or their proxies, has raised concerns about the potential for further escalation in the region.
During the meeting, Prime Minister Netanyahu is expected to consult with key military and security officials to assess the situation and determine an appropriate response. Israel has previously warned that it will not tolerate any threats to its security and will respond forcefully to any aggression against its territory.
Iran, on the other hand, has denied responsibility for the missile attack and has accused Israel of fabricating the incident to justify its own aggressive actions. The Iranian government has reiterated its commitment to defending its interests and sovereignty in the face of what it perceives as Israeli aggression.
The meeting is being closely watched by regional and international observers, who are concerned about the potential implications of a further escalation between Israel and Iran. Both countries have been engaged in a long-standing rivalry, with tensions exacerbated by their differing strategic interests and involvement in conflicts across the Middle East.
As the meeting continues, the international community is calling for restraint and dialogue to prevent a further deterioration of the situation. Efforts are being made to de-escalate tensions and find a peaceful resolution to the current crisis, which has the potential to impact the stability of the entire region.
