'Israel' is reportedly preparing for the possibility of military action on six fronts, including Iran, Lebanon, Gaza, the West Bank, Syria, and Yemen, according to Hebrew media reports on Wednesday.
High-Level Security Meeting
The 'Israeli' newspaper Ynet reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a sensitive, small-scale cabinet meeting with top security officials after returning from a recent meeting with the US President Donald Trump. The discussions focused on agreements reached in Washington regarding 'Israel’s' continued freedom to operate militarily across all these arenas.
"In security circles, preparations are underway for scenarios where the army could be required to act in all these theaters, some sequentially, some simultaneously," the report said.
Iran Unrest Influences Strategy
Protests in Iran over deteriorating economic conditions are seen as a key factor affecting 'Israel’s' decision-making. Officials remain cautious about potential outcomes, with assessments indicating that current unrest, while widespread, is unlikely to topple the Iranian regime on its own.
Senior unnamed 'Israeli' officials reportedly told Ynet that multiple factors would need to converge for a regime change in Tehran, and the situation has not yet reached that stage.
'Israeli' military intelligence continues to closely monitor Iran, gathering detailed information to avoid surprise developments and to track critical targets. The monitoring also seeks early warning of potential ballistic missile launches, a concern after 'Israel’s' 12-day military engagement with Iran in June 2025.
Lebanon and Hezbollah
Ynet indicated that absent recent developments in Iran, 'Israel' would likely have moved quickly to execute plans against Hezbollah in Lebanon, with the army reportedly ready and awaiting timing approval. 'Israel' has threatened wide-scale attacks on alleged Hezbollah targets if the Lebanese government does not disarm the group.
Hezbollah maintains its armed capabilities at roughly 20 percent of prior strength and calls for an end to 'Israeli' aggression and withdrawal from occupied territories.
Gaza, West Bank, Syria, Yemen
'Israel' continues to delay the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire, linking it to the return of its last captured soldier’s remains, while Hamas warns extraction may take time due to extensive destruction.
Since launching its genocidal campaign in Gaza in October 2023, 'Israel', with US backing, has killed over 71,000 Palestinians and injured 171,000, mostly women and children. The ceasefire, active since October 10, 2025, has been violated daily, with at least 424 Palestinians killed and 1,199 injured as of Tuesday.
In the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, 'Israeli' forces and settlers have killed more than 1,100 Palestinians, injured roughly 11,000, and detained over 21,000.
Yemen remains under a tense ceasefire, though the Houthi movement continues to strike 'Israel' in retaliation for its genocidal attacks on Palestinians. 'Israel' has conducted multiple air raids causing deaths, injuries, and significant destruction.
In Syria, 'Israeli' forces conduct near-daily incursions, particularly in the Quneitra region, including arrests, checkpoints, and destruction of crops and military assets. Despite Damascus not posing a direct threat, airstrikes have killed civilians and destroyed military sites. On Tuesday, Syria and 'Israel' established a US-supervised liaison mechanism to share intelligence, reduce military tensions, and explore diplomatic and trade opportunities.
Long-Term Occupation
For decades, 'Israel' has occupied Palestinian lands and parts of Syria and Lebanon, refusing withdrawal and rejecting the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.
