Israeli military on maximum alert as Netanyahu renews threat to strike Iran

Israel's army has completed preparations for a possible strike on Iran, officials said, as Netanyahu ordered the Mossad and military to work toward toppling the regime.

• Ten US military cargo planes arrived at the Ovda and Nevatim air bases in the Negev, the Israeli broadcaster reported.
• Netanyahu renewed threats to strike Iran and said he ordered the Mossad and the military to work toward toppling the Iranian regime.
• Katz said the army is on maximum alert for a possible Iranian attack while denying any preemptive strike plan before the elections.
• Zamir said no military justification exists for attacking Iran before the Knesset elections unless confirmed indicators show Tehran is ready to strike.
