The most important thing is that there is no direct threat that cannot be postponed for two weeks, and assuming the possibility of launching a limited operation, achieving its objectives, and a rapid return to normal life, requires caution, as Israel can determine how to launch the campaign, but it alone cannot determine Iran's response, or when the fighting will end, as it may choose a wide-ranging response, wanting to change the deterrence equation towards Israel and the United States, which turns a limited action into a long-term conflict.

It is unlikely to happen soon, and certainly does not require Israel to launch a new preemptive campaign, but the concern is that there may be a miscalculation. Through conversations with sources in the military establishment, it appears that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who declared publicly that he does not intend to launch a preemptive war, and in internal discussions, is not enthusiastic about another military initiative against Iran before the elections.

The level of alert is rising in Israel, and the army is preparing for the possibility of returning to fighting soon, and the military establishment is closely monitoring developments in Iran, which is preparing for the possibility of another conflict, as it works to restore its military capabilities, strengthen its forces, and prepare for a future campaign against Israel and the United States. Nevertheless, its readiness for war does not prove that an attack is imminent.
