Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly been urged by ministers in his own government to "attack sensitive facilities in Iran as soon as possible" in retaliation to the recent strikes on Israel.
Michael Shemesh, political correspondent at the Israel Broadcasting Corporation, wrote on Telegram: "Government ministers recommended that Netanyahu attack sensitive facilities in Iran in response to the Iranian attack on Israel.
"The dispute in the Israeli leadership over the timing of the response is still ongoing. Most decision-makers believe the action should be carried out as soon as possible."
He added in his Telegram post: "A senior government official said tonight: 'Every day that passes, the chances of a significant retaliatory attack on Iran are decreasing.'"
This comes after Tehran fired over 300 missiles and drones at Israel on Saturday night, almost all of which were intercepted by Israel's complex air defense systems.
