MY REPORT: Israel prepares for a possible surprise Iranian attack as Trump weighs resuming the war Israel’s high security alert remains unchanged since before last week’s elections, with no significant changes to operational preparations. A senior Israeli security official tells me the alert is also aimed at a possible preemptive Iranian strike: “If they feel we are about to attack and try to surprise them. The Iranians are in a difficult position. They don’t know when or whether the US decision will come, but they don’t want to be caught off guard for a third time.” -- I24NEWS 04-NOV-2026 02:57 PM ET
