“It could be in the form of a surface-to-surface missile, cruise missiles, or long-range UAVs,” Brig. Gen. Dror Shalom said.

A high-level security cabinet meeting to discuss the increasing Iranian threat is scheduled for next week, reports Israeli Army Radio.

According to the report, Iran could be planning a direct cruise missile or drone strike against Israel in retaliation for recent attacks against Iran’s allies in the Middle East.

Israel is expecting the missiles to not be high-arcing ballistic missiles that are easier to intercept, but rather low flying ones that are harder to detect.

Brig. Gen. Dror Shalom, the head of Military Intelligence’s Research Division told Israel Hayom that Israel expects to be attacked by Iran from southern Iraq.

“It could be in the form of a surface-to-surface missile, cruise missiles, or long-range UAVs. He has UAVs that can fly 1,000-1,200 kilometers (600-1200 miles) which he [Iran’s commander Qassem Soleimani] has used in the Persian Gulf,” Shalom said.

“In the end, when he takes a hit to the nose, he wants to hit back, and he has taken some blows recently. So my working assumption is that it’s only a matter of time until he tries,” he added.

“它可以是地对地导弹、巡航导弹或远程无人机的形式，”布里格说。德罗沙洛姆将军说。

据以色列军方电台报道，定于下周召开高层安全内阁会议，讨论伊朗日益增长的威胁。

据报道，伊朗可能正计划对以色列实施直接巡航导弹或无人机打击，以报复最近对伊朗中东盟友的袭击。

以色列期望这些导弹不是更容易拦截的高弧度弹道导弹，而是更难探测的低空飞行导弹。

布里格。军事情报研究部门负责人德罗沙洛姆将军告诉以色列哈伊姆，以色列预计将受到来自伊拉克南部的伊朗的袭击。

它可以是地对地导弹、巡航导弹或远程无人机。他拥有无人机，可以飞行1000-1200公里（600-1200英里），这是他（伊朗指挥官）在波斯湾使用的。

“最后，当他打鼻子的时候，他想反击，最近他打了几拳。因此，我的工作设想是，在他尝试之前，这只是时间问题，”他补充说。
