Israel's top military official says the country will respond to Iran's large-scale missile and drone attack on Israeli territory over the weekend.
Israel Defense Forces Chief of the General Staff, Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi, made the remarks on Monday when he visited the Nevatim air base in southern Israel where an Iranian ballistic missile landed.
Halevi said that the military is considering its next steps and that the firing of so many missiles and drones into Israeli territory "will be met with a response." He did not elaborate on the next steps.
Israeli army spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said, "We will do everything that is needed in order to defend the state of Israel and we will do it in a timing of our choosing."
The Iranian attack reportedly left damage to four locations at the air base.
Footage released by the Israeli military shows a hole in the ground near a building.
Hagari said the damage was only minor and the base remains functional for operations, including the takeoff and landing of military planes.
