The world is awaiting Israel's next move after Iran attacked the country over the weekend.
Israel hailed the success of its defenses in the face of an unprecedented attack by Iran of more than 300 drones and missilesJERUSALEM --Even after the Israeli war cabinet met on a response to the attack, no decision was made on Israel's behalf.

Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in an effort to contain tensions, that Washington would not participate in any offensive action against Iran in an attempt to minimize escalation.The push to encourage Israel to show restraint mirrored ongoing American efforts to curtail Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza, which is now in its seventh month, and to do more to protect civilian lives in the territory.
The statement added, "We express our full solidarity and support to Israel and its people and reaffirm our commitment towards its security."Jordan, Iraq, and Lebanon have reopened their airspaces following Iran's attack on Israel, though some restrictions remain in the region. The girl was "severely injured by shrapnel," apparently from an intercepted missile, IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari said.
