After Iran's first direct attack on Israel, the country faces a crucial security policy dilemma. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his war cabinet, consisting of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and former Defense Minister Benny Gantz, are faced with the difficult decision of how to respond to the crossing of this red line.

During the attack, over 300 rockets and drones were fired, most of which were intercepted with the help of the USA, Great Britain, France, and Jordan. Although the material damage was minor and only a seven-year-old girl was injured, the symbolic significance of the attack is considerable.

Israel must now find a response that is strong enough to send a clear message to Iran without risking further escalation. The options range from direct military strikes against Iranian targets to covert operations and cyber attacks, which have already been successfully used against Iranian interests.

The Decision is Also Influenced by International Factors, Including the Stance of the USA, Which Has No Interest in Escalation, as well as the Need to Focus Attention on the Ongoing Conflict with Hamas in Gaza.
