Israeli Cabinet Meets in Secret Location After Iranian Threat

After Iran said it would respond to Israel’s Saturday strikes on its missile and air defense systems in a corresponding fashion, the Israeli government moved its regular meeting to an undisclosed secret bunker. 

Israeli officials said that, for security reasons, the cabinet wouldn’t meet at its usual place in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office in Jerusalem or in an occasionally used secure part of the defense ministry in Tel Aviv. The actual location is being kept under wraps. 

Iran said it would respond to Israel’s assault on missile and air defense systems in an appropriate fashion, without being more specific. 

 “The nature of our response will correspond to the type of attack carried out,” Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei told reporters on Monday. “Iran will not forgo its right to respond to Israel’s aggression.”
