Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pushed for a renewal of extensive attacks against Iran and ordered the IDF to plan a new, large-scale assault earlier this month, according to a report by the Financial Times citing three sources familiar with the matter. The IDF reportedly prepared for an aerial campaign intended to last several days and was scheduled for the weekend of October 10.
