In a significant development, Israeli media is reporting a shift in Israel's strategic stance regarding potential retaliation from Iran and its allies.
According to Channel 12's Nir Dvori, Israel has decided to respond "significantly" to any upcoming attack, contrary to earlier assessments that suggested a more contained approach.
Key points:
- Israel is reportedly preparing for several days of potential conflict.
- Sources from Iran and Iraq have informed AFP that Iran plans to lead an initial response against Israel, with support from Iraq, Yemen, and Syria.
- The reported strategy involves first targeting civilian areas, followed by a second wave of attacks from Hezbollah.
- Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has warned that Israel has crossed a "red line," claiming the conflict has "entered a new phase on all fronts."
This escalation comes in the wake of recent high-profile assassinations in the region, which have heightened tensions between Israel and Iran-backed groups.
