An Israeli newspaper has disclosed that Israel has clear action plans in case of escalation from Iraq. The plans involve striking infrastructure and facilities before targeting individuals associated with Iran-affiliated militias in Iraq. Reports suggest that Iran may intensify its activities within Iraq due to Israeli military operations in Lebanon and Gaza, with concerns that Iran has smuggled short-range ballistic missiles into Iraq in retaliation to Israeli strikes. Additionally, Iranian-backed Iraqi factions have claimed a drone attack on a vital target in southern Israel.
