Israel's response to the Iranian missile and drone attack can be divided into several areas. These include damage to military infrastructure, weapon depots and targeted countermeasures against Iranian individuals.

The security source hinted that anyone imagining broad attacks on Iranian interests should understand several important points. "The political echelon, as of now, has decided that the main arena of combat is the Gaza Strip. There is urgency," said the security source. "Since we estimate that the Iranians have not had the last word, the IDF is preparing for further moves," he said. "Israel has no choice but to respond," Defense Minister Yoav Galant said in a telephone conversation with U.S. Defense Minister Lloyd Austin, an American senior official and another source briefed on the details of the conversation said. The Chief of the General Staff Herzi Halevi visited the Nabatim base which suffered damage to the infrastructure as a result of the Iranian attack. "When we look ahead, we consider our steps. Launching so many missiles, cruise missiles and UAVs into the territory of the State of Israel - will be met with a response"
