NBC reports that Israel is ready to strike Iran's military and energy facilities.

US officials said Israel plans to carry out retaliatory strikes on certain targets inside Iran, excluding nuclear facilities. According to NBC, Israel may attack Iran's energy and military infrastructure, but does not intend to attack nuclear facilities or carry out assassinations.

The IDF has not yet made a final decision on the timing and nature of its response to the Oct. 1 rocket attack, but is prepared to take action when ordered. According to US and Israeli sources, possible action against Iran could occur during the Yom Kippur holiday (October 11-12), but many details of the plans are being kept secret for security reasons.

US officials recommend that Israel respond to Iran's actions proportionately, focusing on military targets and avoiding oil, gas and nuclear facilities. Additional information about the response measures was provided to the US by the Israeli side, but many details remain hidden.annonce??
