"Israel Contemplates Response to Iran's Attack as Tensions Escalate"

Israel's war cabinet is under pressure to decide on a response to Iran's missile and drone attack, with international allies urging restraint to avoid escalating tensions. President Biden has pledged support for Israel's security, while the European Union plans to discuss ways to calm the conflict. The Iranian attack, largely thwarted, has raised fears of a cycle of reprisals akin to previous conflicts, with Israel weighing strategic implications for its war in Gaza and its alliance with Western and moderate Arab countries.
