This is the best summary I could come up with:
Israeli Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi said Tehran’s missile and drone attack “will be met with a response”, though he did not elaborate further.
But he assured the Iranian missile and drone attack “will be met with a response” during a visit to the Nevatim air base in southern Israel.
In a video message posted on the IDF’s X account, Halevi thanked Israel’s international partners, after the US, UK and France helped thwart Tehran’s Saturday strikes.
He also praised the effectiveness of Israel’s Iron Dome defence system, which the IDF claims intercepted 99% of Iran’s missiles.
British Foreign Secretary David Cameron told the BBC on Monday the UK does not support a retaliatory strike by Israel.
US President Joe Biden also does not want an escalation in the regional conflict or a “wider war” with Iran and is “working on the diplomatic side of this personally," the White House national security spokesman John Kirby told NBC News on Sunday.
