Israel raises alert levels amid fears of renewed war with Iran

Israel has raised its security alert levels to the highest possible level amid growing fears of a renewed military confrontation with Iran and the possibility of a large-scale pre-emptive Iranian attack, Israeli Channel 14 reported.

According to the report, the Israeli security establishment fears that Iran may seek to change the rules of engagement after being twice surprised by previous Israeli operations. There is concern that Iran might choose to launch a large-scale preemptive strike instead of waiting for a new Israeli move, which could ignite a new round of direct confrontation between the two countries.

The report said Israeli concerns were growing despite Iran’s severe economic crisis. According to Israeli assessments, the Iranian government continues to allocate substantial resources to rebuilding its military capabilities, including ballistic missiles, launch platforms and drones, as well as restoring capabilities damaged in previous attacks.

Meanwhile, Israel is working to strengthen its operational readiness for various scenarios, including a surprise Iranian attack and the possible resumption of strikes inside Iran in coordination with the United States.
