Iran planning ‘October 7-style’ multi-front, coordinated attack on Israel: Report
In the October 7 attack, more than 1,200 people were killed in an assault led by Hamas from the Gaza Strip into southern Israel.
Iran is reportedly plotting a multi-front, coordinated attack on Israel reminiscent of the October 7, 2023 assault, which resulted in over 1,200 fatalities according to the Jerusalem Post citing intelligence sources. This planned operation aims to unite Iran's forces with Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas, the Houthis in Yemen, and pro-Iranian militias in Iraq under the 'Axis of Resistance,' an informal coalition opposing Israel, the United States, and regional rivals.
The new Hamas leader, Khalil al-Hayya, is said to have positive relations with Iran, and Hamas and Hezbollah have reportedly been coordinating an uptick in their activities recently, aided by Iranian support. The plan's resemblance to October 7, 2023, is suggested by documents allegedly taken from Hamas after the attack, which indicate Yahya Sinwar's intent to broaden the conflict to additional arenas.
While Israel initiated a war on Gaza following the October 7 attack, the situation remains volatile with continued violations of the truce and Israeli forces occupying a significant portion of Gaza.
