Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at a private meeting with ministers from his Likud party that Iran’s missile attack must be followed by a smart response, according to a report by Kan radio station. Iran should have to wait nervously to see when the backlash will come, as Israel did before the attack late on Saturday evening, according to the report. The broadcaster reported, citing a high-ranking official, that Israel has promised to inform the US before launching a counter-attack, in order to give US troops in the region time to prepare for any Iranian retaliation.
