During high-level discussions within Israel’s political and security leadership, Mossad chief David (Dedi) Barnea reportedly called for a direct strike on Iran following recent attacks by the Houthi militia, Channel 13 News reported on Sunday. 

"We need to target the head; striking only the Houthis won’t be enough," Barnea reportedly stated during the meetings.

His remarks highlight the growing sentiment among Israeli officials that Iran, as the primary orchestrator of regional threats, must be held directly accountable for its actions.
