Israel is planning a “painful” strike on Iran that does not cause casualties, according to leaks from a meeting of the prime minister’s war cabinet.

Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly asked the Israel Defense Forces to draw up a list of targets that Israel could choose to hit that the US would not object to.

The carefully calibrated response to Iran’s unprecedented missile and drone attack on Sunday could come in the form of a precision strike on a facility in Tehran, or a cyber attack, the Washington Post reported, citing an Israeli official familiar with the sensitive discussions.

“Everybody agrees that Israel must respond,” the official said. “How to respond, when to respond, is the question.”

Israel’s Channel 12 news claimed the war cabinet had agreed to strike back at Iran “clearly and forcefully,” and that several options had been discussed that would be “painful” but unlikely to trigger a regional war.

The war cabinet is also aiming to find a way to retaliate against Iran that won’t be blocked by the United States, the broadcaster reported, after Joe Biden told Mr Netanyahu that Washington would not support an Israeli counterattack.

Yoav Gallant, the Israeli Defence Minister, on Monday told his US counterpart that Israel has no choice but to respond to Iran’s attack, which was thwarted with help from the United States and Britain.

SoNature:
Israel is saying something that is technically impossible. How can you achieve a painful strike without collateral damage? I hope Iran doesn't become another Palestine that Israel will use for shooting practice. Before attacking Israel, think twice. Those people are born ready for wars!

misreal:
What this means to me is that,their nuclear development plans will be bombed.
This has been the plan all the while.
What Iran should have done was to go ahead and display big big weapons and do as if they want to shoot,then stop in btw.claiming that their allies have begged them
Maybe it wouldn't have led to this.

But no..
your economy is almost dead,you then went ahead to shoot 300 ballistic balloons into Israel.
How will you find this kind war with your almost dead economy?
No be say them get nuclear weapons sef.

dangermouse:


Israel has been looking for a direct confrontation with them and now they have the reason. They will definitely make use of it.

Difrent:


Iran too
It's going to be interesting how this plays out.

Us,Britain , France has called in Bibi not to retaliate.

The Iranians have asked US to step aside in order not to get hit.

Moscow has written Washington to inform them that if Israel attack Iran they will help Iran retaliate.

But in all honesty Israel escalated the matter by striking Iran consulate (to take out the mastermind of Oct 7 ) that is against international law but then again how many international laws does Israel obey? And it does that because of the blanket support Biden is giving them.

The hypocrisy of the west has been well noted since Oct 7

Paraman:
Iran will retaliate
