Israel Draws Up 'Target Options' While Seeking US Backing For Iran Attack

"Israel is looking to "send a message" against Iran, but short of causing outright war and mass casualties, a top-level official has told The Washington Post. During Monday's Israel War Cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Netanyahu is reported to have requested defense leaders to draw up a list of targets.
According to Washington Post's reporting:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asked the Israel Defense Forces to provide target options, according to an official familiar with high-level discussions, who said Israel is looking at options that would “send a message” but not cause casualties.
Israeli officials are now signaling to their US counterparts that they would like the White House's backing and coordination for retaliation, however, so far President Biden has urged restraint." ZH
