US officials told ABC News that Israel is not expected to carry out a retaliatory attack against Iran until after Pesach.
The officials added that Israel twice prepared retaliatory strikes against Iran this week but ultimately postponed them.
Kan News reported that following the Iranian attack overnight on Motzei Shabbos, Israel’s war cabinet approved the launch of an immediate massive retaliatory strike against Iran. However after US President Joe Biden called Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and pushed him not to retaliate, the plan was called off.
Meanwhile, senior Iranian officials are living in fear, with some in hiding in underground facilities and other protective areas.
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi on Wednesday warned that the “tiniest invasion” by Israel would bring a “massive and harsh” response.

are the israeli’s afraid that the Iraninas will retalitate by dropping chometz on them?
There’s nothing to retaliate to. “Hashem yilachem lachem, v’atem tacharishun – Hashem will fight for you and you should be silent”
@kingdavid – If we were on the madreiga where Hashem was literally going to give us the absolute single biggest neis in history after creation of the universe, I don’t think we’d be here right now…
In other news loud explosions have been heard in Iran tonight 4 days prior to Passover
Well, that didn’t age well
