CGTN

Israeli war cabinet ministers convened on Sunday to discuss a response to Iran's attack but were split on the timing and scale of a possible counterattack, a government source confirmed to Xinhua.

The source indicated that a majority of ministers favored a counterattack. However, internal disagreements persisted regarding the timing and extent of the retaliatory action.

Benny Gantz, a key member of the cabinet, said in a statement before the meeting that Israel will "exact a price from Iran, in a way and at a time that suits us."
