Earlier today, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi stated Iran’s strike against Israel “will be met with a response.” IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari stated the military response would occur “at the time that we choose.”

The drone and missile attack targeting Israel was launched from Iran over the weekend. Iran stated its military action was in response to the Israeli airstrike against the Iranian consulate in Damascus, Syria, on April 1.

In a statement released by the IDF on X Halevi claimed the Iranian attack failed: “Iran’s attack has created new opportunities for cooperation in the middle east.… Iran will face the consequences for its actions,”
