The source, cited by Iraq's al-Sumaria news outlet warned that any escalation could fundamentally alter the trajectory of the confrontation. Israeli newspaper Maariv reported that the United States had strengthened its military footprint in Occupied Palestine, allowing dozens of refuelling aircraft to land at five sites, including Ben Gurion Airport and the Nevatim and Ramon airbases, to support potential air operations.
Maariv quoted Israeli military sources saying current assessments do not indicate that Iran intends to strike Israel, and described ongoing U.S. strikes as "limited and calculated." However, the sources warned that if sensitive Iranian facilities or energy infrastructure were targeted, Tehran might respond by attacking Israel.
