It has been reported that Israel has identified targets in Iran in response to Tehran’s missile attack, and that retaliation is ‘only a matter of time.’
Following the arrival of the THAAD anti-missile system in Israel yesterday—sent by the US to bolster Israel’s air defenses, along with the American soldiers who will operate it—the Israeli press has indicated that the anticipated retaliation against Iran will take place soon.
According to reports from Israel’s Channel 12, the Israeli army has presented Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant with a list of potential targets for the response to Iran.
Israeli state television, KAN, also reported that the Tel Aviv government has finalized its decision regarding the targets in response to Iran’s missile attack.
An unnamed Israeli official, speaking to KAN, stated: “The targets are clear. [The strike] is only a matter of time.”
Attack plan shared with the US
The report further mentioned that the Israeli government has shared its plan to strike Iran with the US in general terms, though it has not provided details on the specific sites to be targeted.
An Israeli source was quoted as saying that “the targets could change at the last minute.”
Yesterday, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant asserted that Israel would “respond soon” to Iran’s massive ballistic missile attack, describing the impending action as both “decisive and deadly.”
On October 1, Iran launched a rocket attack on Israel. The Tel Aviv government had previously indicated that it would respond to this aggression.
