How will Israel retaliate against Iran's missile attack?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to respond to Iran's missile attack. Here's what the Israeli retaliation could be.

Israel has vowed to respond with violent force to Iran’s ballistic missile attack.

The unanswered question that loomed over the Middle East on Wednesday is what that response will look like: Will it serve as another escalation on a spiraling trajectory to all-out war? Could Israel seek to target Iran's oil facilities and even its nuclear sites? Or is there still room for the diplomacy being urged by the United States?

One thing is clear, an Israeli official told NBC News on Wednesday — the country will retaliate swiftly.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel’s military and intelligence leaders were meeting at the defense ministry to discuss what this might look like. The official said the timeline on when exactly to strike was complicated by Rosh HaShana, the Jewish New Year, which begins Wednesday evening and is followed soon after by other Jewish holidays.

But Israel is determined to hit back quickly, they said.
