In details of the preparations for an Israeli attack against Iran, the Hebrew Channel reported that during the political and security cabinet meeting held last night (Sunday, October 20), the ministers were informed that a “very large attack” would be carried out soon in Iran.
The Hebrew Channel 13 added that the ministers would not be informed in advance of the nature of the attack.
She indicated that they in Israel estimate that the Iranians will have a strong reaction to this attack.
The political and security ministerial council was held against the backdrop of preparations to respond to the missile attack launched by Iran in early October, and the accusation leveled by Netanyahu against Tehran that it was responsible for launching drones towards his home in Caesarea.
Senior officials told Akhbar 13 on Sunday that Israel is “preparing for a major and serious response in Iran.”
In preparation for the attack, the American defense system of the “THHAD” missile battery was completed in Israel.
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken will also arrive on Tuesday on a diplomatic visit to Israel, and will meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
It is expected that his visit will address the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip and the quest to reach a political agreement in the north against the backdrop of the American attempt to prevent regional escalation.
Earlier, the White House responded to the leak of US intelligence documents detailing Israel’s preparations for an attack on Iran.
White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said: “President Biden is very interested in the issue. He is concerned about the leak of this type of information and will examine the process himself to find out how it happened.”
Tel Aviv believes that a senior member of the US administration is behind the leak of the attack documents on Iran, and the purpose appears to be to convey a message from the United States to Israel that Washington is constantly monitoring Tel Aviv’s movements.
At the same time, an investigation was opened in the United States into the publication of Pentagon documents related to Israel’s plans for the expected response against the Islamic Republic, with a senior American official confirming to CNN that “the leak has been verified and its authenticity has been determined… It is very disturbing.”
On October 1, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard launched a hypersonic missile attack on Israel, and said that it targeted Israeli army air bases in response to the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh and Hassan Nasrallah.
