[Global Times Report] Reuters, Axios News Network and other foreign media reported on the 11th local time that two sources revealed that the latest assessment of the Israeli intelligence community showed that Iran has decided to directly attack Israel and may launch an attack in the next few days in response to the killing of Haniyeh, leader of the Political Bureau of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), in Tehran.

Iran is said to have decided to directly attack Israel. The picture shows the Iranian flag.

Axios quoted sources as saying that Israel's latest intelligence assessment indicated that the attack may take place before the ceasefire negotiations in the Gaza Strip scheduled for Thursday (15th), which may affect the negotiations promoted by the United States, Qatar and Egypt.

The Times of Israel said the assessment also said there were differences between the Iranian president and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps over the intensity of the response. A source with direct knowledge of the intelligence said the situation "remains unstable" because of the internal divisions in Iran.

Axios reported that Israeli Defense Minister Galant had spoken with U.S. Defense Secretary Austin on Sunday. Galant told the U.S. side that Iran's ongoing military preparations indicate that Iran plans to launch a "large-scale attack" on Israel.

As of press time, there has been no response from Iran on this matter.

According to CCTV News, the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) confirmed on July 31 that Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of the Hamas Political Bureau, was assassinated in Tehran, the capital of Iran, in the early hours of the same day. Hamas said that the assassination was committed by Israel and was a "cowardly act" and that Hamas would retaliate. Israel refused to respond.

According to foreign media such as The Times of Israel and Iran's national news agency, the Iranian delegation to the United Nations said on August 9 that "the recent terrorist act by the Israeli regime (assassination of Haniyeh) violated our national security and sovereignty. We have a legitimate right to self-defense, which has nothing to do with the ceasefire in Gaza." The delegation added, "However, we hope that the timing and manner of our response will be appropriate and will not undermine the potential ceasefire." The delegation also said, "Our top priority is to achieve a lasting ceasefire in Gaza, and we will recognize any agreement accepted by Hamas."
