According to a report on the news site "Axios," IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi informed the commander of the US Central Command, Admiral Brad Cooper, on Saturday that the missile drill launched by Iran's Revolutionary Guards in recent days could be a cover for a surprise attack on Israel. This was reported by three Israeli and American sources. According to the report, an Israeli source claimed that the likelihood of an Iranian attack is "less than 50%, but no one wants to take the risk and determine that it's just a drill." An American source emphasized that US intelligence has no indication of an Iranian attack in the immediate timeframe.
