Israel is considering “going big” in its retaliation against Iran despite fears of an all-out conflict in the Middle East, according to reports, after the Islamic republic launched hundreds of missiles at the Jewish state during the weekend.
The country’s war cabinet met on Sunday to decide between military retaliation or responding to Iran’s attack in a more measured way, according to the Financial Times, citing an Israeli figure familiar with the government’s deliberations.
Nationalist figures in Israel called on the five-person cabinet – which includes Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – to choose the first, despite allied fears of a “catastrophic escalation” leading to a wider war in the Middle East and the Third World war.
