Following Iran's missile and drone attack on Israel, which was carried out in response to Israel's attack on Iran's political representation in Damascus, countries and international organizations demanded that Israel refrain from attacking Iran. But despite the pressures and recommendations, Israel has said that it will respond to Iran's attacks.
According to Reuters, a government source in Israel said that Netanyahu held a meeting with his war cabinet for the second time in less than 24 hours on Monday, the 27th of Hamal, to discuss the response to Iran's missile and drone attack.
The Chief of Staff of the Israeli Army, Herzi Halevi, said that Israel will respond to this attack without giving details.
This Israeli army official said at the Navatim military base in southern Israel: "The launch of this number of cruise missiles and drones into Israeli territory will not go unanswered."
According to reports, this military base of the Israeli army was damaged in the attack on Saturday night, the 25th attack of Iran.
Meanwhile, after Iran's massive missile and drone attack against Israel, Tehran has emphasized that it does not seek further escalation of tension.
This attack caused a wave of international reactions.
Following this Iranian attack, the United Nations Security Council convened an emergency meeting at the request of Israel, and the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, said at the meeting of the Security Council that the region and the world cannot bear more war.
He called for restraint between Iran and Israel and said that the people of the Middle East are facing the real danger of a devastating full-scale war.
US President Joe Biden also told Netanyahu on Sunday that the US helped Israel repel Iran's attack, but will not participate in Israel's retaliatory attack.
"We are on the edge of the abyss and we have to move away from it," said Josep Borrell, the head of the EU's foreign relations. "We have to brake and go into reverse gear."
French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Schulz and British Foreign Secretary David Cameron made similar requests.
British Foreign Secretary David Cameron called Iran's Saturday night missile and drone attacks a double defeat for Tehran and asked Israel to refrain from retaliating against Iran's missile and drone attacks.
