Iran and Hezbollah may choose a 'day of mourning in the Jewish calendar'.

Western intelligence sources have reported to Sky News Arabia that Iran and Hezbollah could attack Israel on the saddest day of the Jewish calendar, Tisha B'Av, which falls on August 12 this year. The choice of the date has symbolic, psychological and tactical implications, recalling Israel's vulnerability and historical trauma.

The sources also say that UN peacekeeping forces have established responsibility for Hezbollah's rocket attack on Majdal Shams, which killed dozens of children and teenagers. The UN special coordinator for the Middle East peace process is calling for coordinated action to prevent further escalation of the conflict.

Israel is actively preparing for a possible attack: even ministers have received satellite phones, part of the state's communications infrastructure is protected. The authorities held a meeting on crisis preparedness, providing senior officials with generators and fuel reserves.
