Israel has decided on its response to Iran's attack

The Jerusalem Post reports, citing sources, that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have determined how to react to Iran's strike but have not yet determined on a date.

The newspaper points out that although Israel is trying to temper the attack to prevent the conflict from turning into a regional war, the decision shows the leadership's resolve to retaliate.

In order to "at least this Easter week allow citizens to live almost as usual," Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi stated that Israel is pursuing a "home front policy" because "we fully trust you and your readiness" during a visit to the 136th battalion's Arrow air defense battery. The Jerusalem Post acknowledged that Halevi might have been trying to "lull the vigilance" of Tehran with his remarks.

The article states that possible courses of action include hitting Iranian nuclear sites, ballistic missiles, or drones. Cyberattacks and sanctions against Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) are also being discussed.

According to Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant, Israel has been the target of over 500 airstrikes. 30 cruise missiles, 170 drones, and about 120 ballistic missiles were fired into the nation. Iran launched an attack late on April 14. The attack happened in retaliation for an April 1 Israeli strike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus.

In response, the Iranian Foreign Ministry issued a warning, stating that Tehran would immediately begin a counterattack in the event of an Israeli attack.
