Israel's security cabinet will convene this evening ahead of an expected Iranian strike tonight, according to Amit Segal (N12). The meeting is the latest sign of mounting tensions as Israeli defense officials brace for a large-scale barrage from Iran.
At 18:47 Jerusalem, journalist Amit Segal (N12) reported that Israel's security cabinet will convene this evening specifically ahead of an expected Iranian strike tonight. The report refines earlier dispatches: at 18:28, Yedioth Ahronoth and Yaron Avraham (N12) both reported the meeting would take place without linking it to a specific attack timeline; Segal's update adds that the session is being held due to an expected Iranian strike tonight.
The thread began at 18:28 with multiple sources reporting the cabinet would convene, with Yedioth Ahronoth citing a confidential location and Avraham reporting no time or venue. By 18:16, The Zioneer had reported defense officials anticipate an imminent, large-scale Iranian barrage and that Home Front Command restrictions are expected to tighten. The sequence shows corroboration solidifying from a general security meeting to an explicitly pre-strike session.
As The Zioneer reported on June 8, the IDF prepared a major airstrike on Iran; on June 10, an Israeli official stated that if Iran plans to strike Israel, the military would activate that strike package. On June 11 and 13, the desk reported prior cabinet sessions on Iran developments, indicating sustained high-level attention.
The specific operational agenda of tonight's cabinet meeting has not been disclosed, and no official confirmation of the Iranian strike timeline has been published.
