Israel reportedly boosts preparations for possible Iran strike

Israel’s security cabinet has instructed the military to step up preparations for a possible attack on Iran, according to Israeli broadcaster KAN; the order’s scope and timing were not reported. KAN warned that the directives could lead to military actions that trigger a war. The reports emerged as Benjamin Netanyahu leads a caretaker government and Gadi Eisenkot works to form a new one. Eisenkot urged Netanyahu to avoid military or security operations unless there is a direct, immediate threat, arguing that decisions during the transition require particular caution.
