Iran and its proxies in the Middle East could launch an attack on Israel within the next 24 hours, unnamed sources in the region tell Fox News.
“Officials [in the Middle East] believe we are reaching hour zero,” Fox News foreign correspondent Trey Yingst reports.
Iran has threatened a major attack against Israel in retaliation for the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran last month. Israel has not taken responsibility for the assassination.
Israel is also bracing for a reprisal attack from Hezbollah, Iran’s proxy in Lebanon, for the assassination of the terror group’s top commander, Fuad Shukr, in Beirut, hours before Haniyeh was killed.
The Axios news site reported yesterday that while Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian wants to avoid a harsh response, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is pushing to launch a larger attack than it did on April 13-14, when hundreds of drones and missiles were launched in Iran’s first-ever direct attack on Israel. Almost all the projectiles and UAVs were intercepted during that attack.
