According to NBC News, U.S. officials believe that Israel has 'limited its targets for an attack on Iran to military and energy infrastructure' of the Islamic Republic. U.S. and Israeli officials told NBC News that this attack could occur 'at any time' or during the upcoming 'Yom Kippur' holiday. There are no signs that Israel will target nuclear facilities or carry out assassinations, but U.S. officials emphasized that the Israelis have not yet made a final decision on how and when to proceed with the attack. U.S. officials do not know the exact timing of Israel's response, but stated that the Israeli army is ready to attack and waiting for orders. They stressed that there is no information on when this attack will take place, but admitted that Israel has not shared a precise timeline with them, and it is even unclear whether Israeli officials have reached an agreement on this matter. Following the missile attack by the Islamic Republic of Iran on Israel on Tuesday night, October 1, Israeli officials have emphasized that they will not leave this attack unanswered. The Islamic Republic announced it in response to Israel's aggression in Lebanon and the assassination of its allies, including Ismail Haniyeh, the Hamas leader in Tehran, and Hassan Nasrallah, the Hezbollah leader in Beirut. The Islamic Republic's attack did not cause significant damage to Israel. Earlier, Yoav Gallant, Israel's Defense Minister, stated that Israel's attack on the Islamic Republic would be 'surprising and deadly' in such a way that the Islamic Republic 'will not realize what hit them and how.' He did not provide further details. A U.S. official stated that the transfer of the THAAD system to Israel is under consideration, but no final decision has been made. The Israeli Foreign Minister defended the country's decision to ban the UN Secretary-General from entering Israel. The New York Times reported that Hamas had attempted to persuade the Islamic Republic to join them in attacking Israel.
