An Israeli security assessment, reported at 19:13 Jerusalem, warns of a real concern of a surprise Iranian attack, citing intelligence received today indicating that extensive US strikes on Iran are expected within the coming 48 hours. The IDF has boosted its air defense array nationwide and raised its alert to the highest level since Operation Roaring Lion in February, according to the assessment.
This follows an earlier assessment at 18:38 that first raised the concern, and a statement by a security official at 18:46 who told Flash News that Israel is preparing for a broader operation than Roaring Lion amid the escalating tensions with Iran. The official cited preparations for a scenario of wide-scale missile fire toward the Israeli home front.
The current assessment reinforces the high alert posture, with the IDF simultaneously raising alert levels and boosting air defenses. No further details on the specific intelligence or the timing of potential US strikes are provided in the assessment.
