Iran plotting new Oct. 7-style attack against Israel: report

According to Israeli intelligence reports, Iran is preparing for a new October 7-style attack against Israel as part of a multi-pronged attack alongside its terrorist proxies in the region. The Islamic Republic is allegedly plotting to repeat the barbaric Hamas attacks of October 7, which killed more Jews in a single day than at any time since the Holocaust, but this time with full coordination of its extensive terrorist network, which includes Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen, according to the Jerusalem Post. Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officials have sought to revitalize their “Axis of Resistance” terrorist network and have held multiple planning meetings with leaders of Hezbollah, the Houthis and Iraqi militias about an escalation against Israel, the outlet reported.

Israeli intelligence found that Sinwar had hoped the broader Arab world would join him after he launched his October 7 attack, which killed 1,200 Israelis, kidnapped 250 and left thousands more injured or raped. But Iran and Hezbollah were not notified in advance of the date of the attacks and did not immediately join the attacks as part of a full ground invasion, the intelligence stated. Iran hopes to join forces in its reenactment of the horrific attack on Israel.
