  • Iran and Hezbollah are accelerating preparations for attacks on Israel, according to Israeli security forces.
  • IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir visited the Northern Command amid heightened tensions.
  • An Iranian analyst suggested Iran could make Israel uninhabitable using conventional and unconventional weapons.
  • The potential use of a "dirty bomb" by Iran has been previously raised by an analyst.
  • Israel anticipates a new military confrontation with Iran, expecting Hezbollah to strike deep within the country.

Israeli security forces assess that Iran and Hezbollah have intensified preparations for attacks against Israel, coordinating their positions in anticipation of renewed hostilities and closely monitoring the evolving situation. This assessment is reportedly behind the recent visit of IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir to the Northern Command.

According to Iranian state television, Hamza Rahim Safavi, a political analyst and professor at Tehran University, stated that Iran possesses the capability to render Israel uninhabitable using conventional and unconventional weapons. Safavi had previously suggested the potential use of a "dirty bomb" in August if the Islamic Republic's existence was threatened, while also questioning official data on Iran's uranium reserves. A "dirty bomb" is defined by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission as a conventional explosive device dispersing radioactive materials upon detonation, without causing a nuclear reaction.

Israeli defense circles consider a new military confrontation with Iran to be nearly inevitable. They anticipate that clarity on the timing of such a conflict will emerge after the U.S. election results are announced. Israeli security agencies operate under the assumption that Hezbollah would actively participate in any new war, attempting to strike targets not only in northern Israel but also deeper within the country.
