A major retaliatory attack by Iran on Israel could come as soon as today, CBS News reports, citing two unnamed US officials.
The attack could possibly include more than 100 drones and dozens of missiles aimed at military targets inside the country, the officials say, while adding that Tehran might opt for a smaller-scale strike in order to avoid a dramatic escalation.
Israel has been on high alert amid multiple threats and intelligence assessments that Iran would launch a strike on Israeli targets in a bid to avenge the April 1 airstrike on an Iranian consulate building in the Syrian capital of Damascus, which killed several Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commanders, including two generals.
