Overview
- Israeli intelligence, reported widely on September 6, 2026, says Iran is seeking to align its regional allies so multiple fronts could operate against Israel at the same time.
- The plan described by the assessments would bring together Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, the Houthi movement in Yemen and pro‑Iran militias in Iraq and Syria into a single, coordinated campaign.
- The reports say senior IRGC and Quds Force officers have held meetings and conference calls with proxy commanders while advisers and joint training have aimed to rebuild depleted drone and missile stocks.
- Israel has increased military readiness in response, including launching the 'Dawn 2.0' exercise to test force movement, air assets and rapid response ahead of the October 7 anniversary.
- These claims are intelligence assessments not independently verified; they invoke lessons from the October 7, 2023 attack and could raise the risk of wider civilian harm and regional escalation if coordination and arms rebuilding proceed.
