Likud MK Hints at Possible Iran Attack Date Amid Rising Tensions

Likud MK Moshe Saada suggested in a Channel 14 interview that an attack on Iran could occur soon, possibly by the weekend, though he immediately clarified this was only an assessment. His remarks come amid heightened alertness in Israel and the United States due to escalating regional tensions and concerns over potential conflict with Iran. Israeli security forces, including the IDF, are reportedly prepared for rapid transition to combat if necessary, but no official announcement has been made about launching an attack.

Earlier on the same day, Ramat Gan Mayor Carmel Shama-Hacohen ordered all city bomb shelters to open and urged building committees to refresh communal shelters, citing increased risk of Iranian missile fire by the weekend. He emphasized the precautionary nature of this step and reassured residents that the Home Front Command has not issued any formal warnings. Other city leaders, such as Herzliya Mayor Yariv Fisher, also confirmed that shelters remain open and are being maintained regularly. The Home Front Command has not changed its public guidance despite the heightened state of readiness.
