Israel has decided to strike Iran following last week’s missile attack on Tel Aviv, Israeli channel 12 reported on Sunday.
The channel also added that “discussions about the method and timing of the attack are still ongoing.”
According to the same source, potential targets of the planned attack could include critical oil and gas facilities, the presidential complex and the headquarters of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as well as the headquarters of the Iranian Guards Corps. the Islamic Revolution (IRGC) in Tehran.
“Discussions within the Israeli security leadership are focused on coordinating the best time and method to launch the strike,” Channel 12 said.
Iran launched at least 180 ballistic missiles at Israel on October 1 in retaliation for the assassinations of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
Haniyeh was assassinated in an attack in Tehran late last July, while Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli airstrike in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, last month.
This escalation occurred amid massive Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon, which have claimed more than 1,180 lives since September 23, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health.
The raids are an escalation in the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah since the start of Israel’s brutal offensive on the Gaza Strip, which has killed more than 41,800 people, mainly women and children, since an attack Hamas last year.
Since then, at least 2,036 people have been killed, more than 9,600 others injured and 1.2 million residents displaced, according to Lebanese authorities.
The international community has warned that Israeli attacks in Lebanon could cause the Gaza conflict to escalate into a wider regional war.
