The Israeli intelligence community has assessed that Iran is likely to launch a direct attack on Israel in the coming days.
According to reports by Axios journalist Barak Ravid, the potential aggressive response is purportedly in retaliation for the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, who was killed in Tehran in late July.
The sources cited by Ravid suggest that the attack could be imminent. Despite the speculations surrounding the incident, the Israeli government has neither confirmed nor denied involvement in Haniyeh’s death.
The development marks a significant escalation in regional tensions, reflecting the complexities of the geopolitical landscape in the Middle East.
