Israeli intelligence suggests an imminent Iranian attack on Israel is imminent

Hezbollah's attacks are likely to be larger than previous ones, potentially including rockets and drones targeting central Israel and civilian areas. According to a recently reviewed assessment by Israeli intelligence, Iran is likely to launch a direct attack on Israel in retaliation for the assassination of the political leader of Hamas in Tehran. This attack is likely to happen in the coming days and could come before the planned negotiations on the hostage situation in Gaza and the ceasefire planned for August 15. Such an attack could jeopardize these crucial talks, which Israeli officials have described as a "now or never" opportunity.

According to a report by Axios, this new assessment marks a departure from previous intelligence reports, which suggested that Iran had not yet decided on the details or timing of its response. It was hoped that international pressure and domestic debate could persuade Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, to delay or soften the crackdown. However, Iranian officials expressed a desire that their response not derail the ceasefire negotiations, according to the report.

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant informed US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin that Iranian military preparations suggest a major attack is imminent, the Axios report said. The Biden administration, for its part, is engaged in high-level diplomacy to avoid further escalation and ensure a ceasefire.

In addition, Israeli intelligence predicts that Hezbollah could launch a first attack, followed by a direct Iranian attack, the report also claims. These attacks are likely to be larger than previous ones, potentially involving rockets and drones targeting central Israel and civilian areas.

Despite these concerns, IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said there had been no change in the Home Front Command's instructions to Israeli citizens. The situation remains fluid, with ongoing internal debates in Iran that could also influence the final decision on its response, according to the report.
