Israel Preparing for Multi-Day Reprisal Attack by Iran and Hezbollah

The head of US Central Command is helping Israel prepare

Israel is preparing for the possibility of Iran and Hezbollah launching a multi-day attack on Israeli territory in response to the assassinations of Hamas’s political chief in Tehran and a top Hezbollah commander in Beirut, NBC News reported on Sunday.

Iran launched its first-ever direct attack on Israel in April in response to the Israeli bombing of the Iranian consulate in Damascus, but US and Israeli officials expect this attack to be bigger. “They’ll just try to wear us out,” one Israeli official told NBC .

Al Mayadeen , a Lebanese news outlet, reported that the Israeli assassination of Ismail Haniyeh on Iranian territory crossed a “red line” and that Iran would reciprocate . “Iran will respond in a way that crosses the red lines set by the Israeli occupation,” an Iranian source told Al Mayadeen .

The Wall Street Journal reported that Iran told Arab diplomats it didn’t care if its response to Israel triggered a war.

Gen. Michael Kurilla, the head of US Central Command, is in the Middle East helping Israel prepare for the Iranian attack , which US and Israeli officials believe could happen as soon as Monday. President Biden has pledged the US will help defend Israel, and the Pentagon announced it was deploying more military capabilities to the region for that purpose.
