Israel is deliberating a significant and potentially lethal response to Iran's recent ballistic missile attack on October 1. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warned that the retaliation will be "lethal, precise, and surprising," targeting Iranian military and intelligence assets, though specifics remain undisclosed. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Security Cabinet are ongoing in their discussions, with a meeting scheduled for October 10 to finalize the response. The U.S. is in consultations with Israel but has not been briefed on the exact plans, and while U.S. support is possible, direct military action by the U.S. is unlikely. Hezbollah and Hamas continue to engage in the conflict, with Hezbollah publishing drone footage of Israeli targets to deter further Israeli operations in Lebanon. The region remains on high alert as Israel considers its next moves
