Oct 28, 2024, 07:09 PM

Israel is preparing to launch another retaliatory strike against Iran following an attempted assassination of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu via a drone attack on his Caesarea residence. The drone attack, attributed to Hezbollah, targeted Netanyahu's family home but caused no casualties. Netanyahu labeled the attack an assassination attempt. On October 28, the Israeli cabinet convened to discuss response options, with ministers being explicitly told that the recent Israeli response did not cover the drone attack. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are expected to present various plans for action against Iran, as assessments suggest Iran's involvement in the attack. Channel 13 reported that the cabinet approved another retaliation against Iran. This marks a significant escalation in tensions between Israel and Iran, with both sides preparing for potential responses.
