[85045] Political and Security Tension: Disclosure of the Cancelled Attack on Iran and a Military Exercise in Samaria

Regional Tension: The Air Force Reveals the Prevention of the Attack on Iran

Air Force Commander, Major General Tishler, revealed in publications on Israel News | Without Censorship that the IDF was prepared and ready for a broad strike operation against hundreds of targets in the heart of Iran last week. According to the report, the sortie was halted while the pilots were in briefings, just one hour before departure for the mission. While right-wing channels such as Israel News | Without Censorship attribute the prevention of the attack to the intervention of President Trump, the issue remains at the center of a political and diplomatic storm.

At the same time, Amichai Stein reports on deep disagreements at the top of the American administration regarding political agreements. According to the report, two camps have formed within the administration: on one side, Vance, Witkoff, and Kushner who supported the agreement, and on the other, figures such as Rubio, Hegseth, and CIA Director Ratcliffe who opposed it. Commentators on the Arab Desk claim that Iran is managing to limit Israel's freedom of action in Lebanon, which presents Israel with a complex test regarding the administration in Washington.

On the security front, the IDF spokesperson and the Moment News channel updated that a military exercise is being held today (Tuesday) in the Menashe Brigade area. The exercise is expected to last until the afternoon hours, during which active movement of security forces will be felt and sounds of explosions will be heard. Security sources emphasized that this is a planned activity and there is no fear of an unusual security event.

In addition, Israel News | Without Censorship reported that the U.S. military is preparing to evacuate about 20% of the refueling aircraft currently stationed at Ben Gurion Airport, a step that may indicate changes in the deployment of American forces in the region.
