Tel Aviv: Tensions in the Middle East are not subsiding. First Iran attacked Israel, then Israel retaliated against Iran, now Israeli intelligence shows that Iran is preparing to attack Israel in the coming days. Axios reported on Thursday, citing two unnamed Israeli sources. The report said that this attack will take place before the US presidential election on November 5.

There will be an attack soon

The attack is expected to be carried out from somewhere in Iraq using a large number of drones and ballistic missiles, the Axios report said. The report said launching an attack through pro-Iran militias in Iraq could be an attempt by Tehran to avoid another Israeli attack against strategic targets in Iran.

Let us tell you that a few days ago Israel attacked Iran with fighter jets. NBC News and ABC News quoted an Israeli official as saying that energy infrastructure and nuclear plants were not targeted. According to the report of Syrian government news agency SANA, Israel carried out air strikes on some military bases in the central and southern parts of Syria on Saturday morning.

Seven Israeli civilians killed in Hezbollah attack

Hezbollah rocket attacks on northern Israel killed seven people in agricultural areas near Metula and Haifa, according to a Times of Israel report. The attack took place on Thursday morning near the border town of Metula, with Hezbollah firing a rocket from Lebanon that hit an apple orchard, killing five people, according to officials.

Hours later, two more people were killed in an olive grove outside the Haifa suburb of Kiryat Ata, reports the Times of Israel. Hezbollah fired dozens of rockets at the area. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) also confirmed the Hezbollah attack in a statement.

All those killed were agricultural labourers

The IDF shared a post on X, writing that Hezbollah rockets killed seven innocent civilians inside Israel today. We will not let Hezbollah's deadly attacks go unanswered. The IDF reported that all the victims were agricultural laborers who were working in the garden. One of them was an Israeli citizen, while the others were foreign nationals. Meanwhile, Israel on Thursday targeted weapons storage facilities and command centers used by Hezbollah's Radwan Forces and its munitions unit in Syria.
