After Iran said it would respond to Israel’s Saturday strikes on its missile and air defense systems in a corresponding fashion, the Israeli government moved its regular meeting to an undisclosed location.

Israeli officials said that, for security reasons, the cabinet didn’t meet at its usual place in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office in Jerusalem or in an occasionally used secure part of the defense ministry in Tel Aviv. The actual venue is being kept under wraps.
