Senior Israeli officials have confirmed that Iran is preparing to launch an attack on Israel in response to the assassination of Haniyeh. Israeli Defense Minister Galant has informed U.S. Secretary of Defense Austin about Iran's military preparations, which suggest an imminent attack. While the Iranian Revolutionary Guard is pushing for a large-scale attack, the Iranian president is reportedly seeking to avoid a severe response. Israeli Army Radio reports that Iran is close to making a decision to launch a direct attack from its territory, although the final decision rests with the Iranian leader. If carried out, the attack is expected to be limited and not lead to a large-scale regional war.
