Israel anticipates large scale attack from Iran
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant spoke on Sunday with U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and told him Iran's military preparations suggest Iran is getting ready for a large-scale attack on Israel, Axios reported, citing a source with knowledge of the call.
The Israeli intelligence community believes Iran ma attack within days, Ravid said on Sunday, citing two sources.
The attack would be in retaliation for the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran in late July, Ravid added. Israel has not claimed or denied responsibility for the killing.
The urgency of the situation is underscored by the imminent ceasefire and hostage negotiations scheduled for Thursday, which Israeli officials have described as a critical "now-or-never" moment. The looming threat from Iran could severely jeopardize these pivotal talks, which are intended to address the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.
According to one source, the intelligence report drafted in the past 24 hours reflects a new and heightened level of concern. Until recently, Israeli assessments suggested that Iran had not yet finalized its response, and international pressures alongside internal deliberations within Iran might lead to a postponement or moderation of their retaliation.
In a statement on Friday, Iran’s mission to the United Nations indicated a hope that any response would be carefully timed to avoid undermining the potential ceasefire.

Never forget that this war started because of a mass murder attack by Hamas. Iran has been a critical ally of Hamas and likely provided the terrorist group with weapons. That is the reason that Israel attacked the Hamas leader who was given sanctuary in Iran. Iran would have trouble evading Israel's missile defense system and may choose another route.
