The officials cited by the journalists do not know the approximate timing and purpose of the strikes, but a proportionate response to the attack in Damascus would be “a strike on an Israeli diplomatic facility,” the report says. Sources believe the strikes could come this week or next week.

The TV channel also notes that it is still unclear where drones and missiles could be launched from - from Iraq, Syria or from the territory of Iran itself.

The White House previously said it was concerned about the likelihood of a full-scale war between Iran and Israel after an air strike hit the Iranian consulate in Syria.

As Axios reported, Israeli officials say they have intelligence indicating Iran may attack Israel. Against this background, the Israeli authorities decided to suspend the work of 28 of their diplomatic missions around the world.
