Iran prepares to attack Israel from Iraqi territory – report

Israeli intelligence believes that Iran is preparing an attack on Israel from Iraqi territory in the coming days, possibly before the US presidential election on November 5, Axios reported on Thursday, citing two unidentified Israeli sources.

The attack is expected to be carried out from Iraq using a large number of drones and ballistic missiles, the Axios report added.

The report said that the carrying out of the attack by pro-Iranian militias in Iraq could be an attempt by Tehran to prevent another Israeli attack on strategic targets in Iran.
