Israel has been informed that the United States may carry out a broad attack on Iranian targets overnight, according to a security report. The defense establishment is prepared for any development, but the Home Front Command has not issued new civil defense guidelines.
The report, received by the Israeli security establishment late Wednesday, indicates that the United States is considering a significant military operation against targets in Iran during the night hours. According to the information conveyed to Israel, the strikes could be "widespread in scope." The defense establishment has heightened its readiness but has not changed civilian protective guidelines, suggesting no immediate specific threat to the Israeli home front is anticipated.
The development follows an assessment earlier Wednesday that the US was preparing its "largest yet" response against Iran, as The Zioneer reported. The defense establishment has been on alert for weeks amid a series of US airstrikes on Iranian infrastructure and diplomatic efforts to contain the escalation.
The situation remains fluid. The Zioneer notes that similar reports of imminent US action have previously led to last-minute delays or diplomatic interventions. No further details on the scope or timing of the potential operation have been confirmed.
