Iran coordinates with Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis for attack, Israeli intel. suggests - report
Israeli assessments indicate Tehran is working to coordinate its regional allies for a simultaneous assault on Israel, seeking to avoid the lack of coordination seen during the October 7 attack.
Israeli intelligence suggests Iran is coordinating with Hezbollah, Hamas, and Houthis to launch a coordinated attack against Israel, resembling a future October 7-style assault. The plan calls for Iran to combine its forces with Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas, the Houthis in Yemen, and pro-Iranian militias in Iraq for a single campaign.
While the October 7 attack only involved Hamas, Hamas documents indicate plans to expand the confrontation and involve additional arenas. US and Israeli assessments indicate that Iran and Hezbollah were not fully informed of the October 7 plan or its precise date. A new Hamas leader, Khalil al-Hayya, is believed to have strong relations with Iran and maintain ties with Tehran.
Reports also indicate renewed coordination between Hamas and Hezbollah with Iranian assistance. Iran is reportedly rebuilding the Axis of Resistance, increasing pressure on Israel from both the North and South. Senior Quds Force officials are said to have held talks with commanders from the three fronts, and Iranian advisers have reportedly worked on the ground.
The rebuilding effort coincides with a shift in power within the axis, with Iraq and Yemen playing a more central role.
