Israel apparently decided to strike Iranian military and energy infrastructure in response to the October 1 missile attack, while there are no indications that nuclear sites will be among the targets or that it will conduct targeted assassinations. This was revealed by the broadcaster NBC, which quotes American officials, according to which Israel has not yet made a final decision on when to act. The same sources make it known that they have no information indicating that the response will arrive today, but, specifying that Israel does not share the possible timing with the US, they do not exclude that the response could also arrive during the Yom Kippur holiday, which ends in next few hours.
Meanwhile, US Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin held talks yesterday with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, in which he expressed his “deep concern” over reports that Israeli forces have opened the fire on the positions of the United Nations peacekeeping mission in Lebanon, as well as the alleged death of two Lebanese soldiers. Austin stressed the importance of ensuring the security of Unifil forces and the Lebanese Armed Forces and “reiterated the need to move from military operations in Lebanon to a diplomatic path as soon as possible.”
