An Israeli security assessment published Wednesday evening warns of a real concern of a surprise Iranian attack, following intelligence received today indicating that extensive US strikes on Iran are expected in the coming days. In response, the IDF is enhancing its air defense array across the country and raising its alert level to the highest since Operation Roaring Lion in February 2026.
The assessment follows a warning from a security official earlier Wednesday, as The Zioneer reported at 18:33 Jerusalem, who cautioned of a possible confrontation with Iran as early as this weekend and preparations for wide-scale missile fire.
The new report adds specifics about the expected trigger: intelligence that the US is preparing extensive strikes on Iran within the next 48 hours. The IDF's alert level is now at its peak since the joint US-Israel operation in February, which targeted Iranian nuclear and military facilities.
The information comes from a single source reporting Israeli assessments and has not been independently corroborated. The development is classified as Developing.
