Israel appears unlikely to carry out a retaliation attack on Iran before the end of Passover, according to reports.
The Jewish holiday begins on Monday evening and runs until nightfall on April 30.
ABC reported that Israel considered but subsequently abandoned two plans to strike Iran this week, in response to the Islamic Republic’s missile and drone barrage on Saturday night.
Iran launched more than 300 missiles and drones at Israel, marking the first time Tehran has directly attacked their foe after decades of confrontation by proxies.
The West, including Britain, has urged Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, to exercise restraint in his response to the attack.
