The Israeli security cabinet has authorized the three-man war cabinet to decide on Israel’s response to the Iranian attack following a late-night meeting Saturday.
The authorization comes after Israel faced more than 200 “threats,” according to the Israel Defense Forces.
The war cabinet comprises Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant and Benny Gantz.
Meanwhile, Israel’s Home Front Command has cancelled its request for residents across the country to stay close to shelters.
The reversal comes hours after the Israel Defense Forces instructed residents of several parts of northern Israel to stay near protected spaces and mandated that residents wait in “the most protected area possible” for at least 10 minutes “upon the activation of sirens.”
