Israel 'preparing a response' to Iran missile attack
The Israeli military is "preparing a response" to an Iranian missile attack against Israel earlier this week, an Israeli official told AFP news agency.
The military official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, didn't provide further details on the nature or timing of the response.
Iran fired almost 200 ballistic missiles at Israel on Tuesday evening in support of Hezbollah. The Israeli military said most of the missiles were intercepted, but that a small number struck central and southern Israel. A Palestinian man in the occupied West Bank was killed.
The barrage followed Israeli air strikes targeting Hezbollah, including one which killed the group's leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut on 27 September.
Israel has previously warned of "consequences" for the Iranian attack and has discussed possible retaliation options with the US.
