Israeli media reports, carried by three sources, assessed that the United States could carry out a military operation against Iran within days, amid a US military buildup including a third aircraft carrier and reconnaissance aircraft. Meanwhile, the Israeli army raised its defensive alert, especially on the northern front with Lebanon, and a drone strike reportedly targeted two Hezbollah members near the Yellow Line.
The first coverage focused on Israeli alert and fears of miscalculation, while the second added US political and military context and the drone strike, and the third confined itself to indications of a possible strike, US movements and the Lebanese front.
