JERUSALEM, April 15 (Xinhua) -- Israel's wartime Cabinet discussed several options on Monday for a possible counterattack against Iran following the Islamic Republic's retaliation earlier this week, according to a report from Israeli media.
A government statement confirmed that the wartime Cabinet met for about three hours on Monday and will resume its meeting tomorrow.
The ministers discussed various response options at different intensity levels, ranging from minor to severe, and at several timings, including the possibility of an immediate response, as reported by Israel's N12 TV news.
Israel aims to carry out a response that is coordinated with the United States, intending to inflict damage without triggering full-scale conflict, according to the report.
Late Saturday, Iran launched about 350 drones and missiles in response to the killing of seven Iranians, including two veteran commanders, by Israel in a strike on the consular section of the Iranian embassy in Syria on April 1. ■
