Israel unlikely to hit Iran until after Passover holiday: Report

American outlet ABC News quotes a senior US official saying that Israel is unlikely to hit Iran until after Passover, the Jewish holiday that starts on Monday and ends after nightfall on 30 April.

Israel has vowed to respond to Iran's unprecedented barrage of drones and missiles that attacked the country over the weekend. The aerial assault was a retaliation for the reported Israeli strike on Iran's consulate in Damascus, Syria, on 1 April which killed several Iranian officers including top commanders.
