Israel is preparing for a hypothetical scenario in which Iran may attack Israel first amid the ongoing tensions between Tehran and the United States, the Kan public broadcaster reports.
The report does not cite any sources nor provide any further information as to why such a scenario would play out.
Kan does, however, cite Israeli security sources as saying that if Iran attacks Israel in response to an American attack, Israel will also launch strikes on Iran — something that Israeli leaders have repeatedly publicly said.
Since January, the IDF has been on high alert and has carried out various preparations after US President Donald Trump threatened military action against Iran against the backdrop of the regime’s killing of protesters.
Preparations have largely focused on the military’s air defense array, attack plans, intelligence, and the Home Front Command, according to the IDF.
The level of preparedness in the military is similar to that ahead of June 2025’s 12-day war with Iran, Kan reports, also without citing any sources.
