Israel Hayom reports that Israeli authorities are preparing for a possible campaign against Iran, with a particular concern over disruptions to civilian air travel. The report comes amid broader preparations on the Iranian front.
A new report from Israel Hayom, published at 20:42 Jerusalem tonight, says Israeli authorities are preparing for a campaign against Iran with a specific concern over potential disruptions to civilian air travel. The report, citing unnamed sources, states the preparations are underway. This development adds a concrete operational dimension — the protection of civilian aviation — to the broader readiness picture that emerged from earlier reports tonight.
At 20:07 Jerusalem, The Zioneer published a series of reports: senior Israeli officials told Channel 14 that a return to intense fighting with Iran is possible in the coming days, adding that Iran is still deliberating whether to attack and has not yet decided, and that the US may ask Israel to join the campaign even if Israel is not attacked. Those statements were then sharpened into an assessment of potential full-scale war. An analysis published at the same time said Israel is preparing scenarios for a return to large-scale fighting, citing the ongoing escalation. The source quality has evolved from a single official channel (Channel 14) to a newspaper report (Israel Hayom) with unnamed sources, broadening the evidentiary base.
The Zioneer has previously reported on related preparations: a coordination meeting between the IDF and US Central Command on July 8 to discuss resuming hostilities, and reports on June 8 that the IDF prepared a major airstrike on Iran involving dozens of fighter jets. Analyst Yossi Eliezer reported on July 2 that Israel is preparing for a potential Iranian attack.
What remains open: the Israel Hayom report is sourced to unnamed officials, and neither the exact nature of the campaign nor its timeline has been specified. The earlier assessments also noted that Iran has not yet decided on a response, leaving the immediate trigger for any Israeli action unclear.
