Israel has said it has drawn up plans to attack Iran in response to the unprecedented missile and drone strike.
On Sunday night, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said the country’s war cabinet had approved both “offensive and defensive action” despite warnings from Western leaders.
Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, called off an immediate retaliation on Saturday night following intervention from Joe Biden, the US president, who asked him to “think carefully” about his next move.
US defence officials said Iran fired more than 100 ballistic missiles and hundreds of drones and rockets at Israel on Saturday in an attempt to overwhelm its air defences.
