A security official told Flash News on Wednesday evening that Israel is preparing for a possible military operation broader than Operation Roaring Lion, the February 2026 joint US-Israel campaign against Iran. The official said the security establishment has raised its alert to peak levels, citing preparations for a scenario of wide-scale missile fire toward the Israeli home front amid escalating tensions with Iran.
The warning is the latest in a series of security alerts this evening. At 18:33, a security official warned of a possible confrontation with Iran as early as this weekend, and at 18:38, an Israeli assessment raised the IDF alert to the highest level since Operation Roaring Lion, as The Zioneer reported.
These alerts build on weeks of heightened readiness. The Zioneer reported on June 9 that the security establishment was preparing for possible US strikes on Iran, and on July 2 that Israel was preparing for a potential Iranian attack. The current warnings indicate a growing assessment that escalation may be imminent.
The exact scope of the potential operation and whether it would be conducted unilaterally or with US support remain unspecified. The official did not provide a timeline for a possible broader operation.
