Tensions in the Middle East escalate as Israel prepares for a potential military strike against Iran, with U.S. officials predicting an attack could occur before the upcoming presidential election on November 5. Following Iran's missile attack on Israel on October 1, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has assured that any retaliatory operation will focus on military targets, deliberately avoiding Iranian oil and nuclear facilities. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has promised a "precise and deadly response," raising concerns of a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict.
