Israeli officials are considering the possibility of a preemptive strike against Iran as tensions rise in the region. Following a meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and top security officials, preparations are being made in case of an attack by Iran or its proxies. Concerns have escalated after the recent assassinations of Hezbollah military chief Fuad Shukr and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.
Reports suggest that Israel would require solid evidence of an impending attack before launching a preemptive strike. Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant visited an Israeli Air Force command center to assess air defense readiness and offensive capabilities.
