Israel braces for days of war with Iran, official warns

The Israeli military is preparing for at least several days of fighting with Iran, and possibly a longer campaign, a senior Israeli military official said Monday. Speaking to reporters for the first time since the two countries resumed hostilities, the official accused Iran of breaking an April ceasefire by launching ballistic missiles. The official did not provide further details on the exact number of missiles or targets. The statement signals that Israel expects the current conflict to be prolonged, not a short-term exchange. The military is now planning for sustained operations, the official added. No new ceasefire talks have been announced.
