The defense establishment is said to be preparing for a barrage of missiles from Iranian proxies in Syria, directed at military targets in northern Israel, in response to a number of recent attacks at Tehran’s infrastructure in Damascus that have been attributed to the Jewish state.

Channel 10 reports that Iran does not want its strike against Israel to escalate into an all-out conflict with the Jewish state. Therefore the assessment in Jerusalem is that Tehran will use a Shiite militia group, under the direction of Hezbollah, to carry out the attack, rather than involving its Revolutionary Guard.

In response, Israel is said to have warned that it will continue hitting Iranian targets wherever they are.
