The war cabinet has wrapped up its meeting scheduled to discuss Israel’s response to Iran’s attack.

Channel 12 reports that several options were discussed, with each of them being a “painful” retaliatory response against Iran but one that doesn’t spark a regional war.

The war cabinet also is aiming to choose a reaction to Saturday night’s Iranian missile and drone attack that won’t be blocked by the US, the network says.

Meanwhile The Wall Street Journal cites US and Western officials who anticipate that Israel will respond quickly to Iran’s attack, possibly as soon as today.

However, the officials say they hope that both Iran and Israel will be able to come away from the ordeal being able to claim victory enough to give them an off-ramp away from further escalation.
