In the conversation, Gallant noted that everything indicates that Iran's military is preparing for a large-scale attack on Israel.
An updated assessment by the Israeli intelligence community is that Iran is ready to attack Israel directly in retaliation for the assassination of a Hamas political leader in Tehran and is likely to do so within days, according to two sources with direct knowledge of the issue.
A new intelligence assessment indicates that the attack could take place before Thursday's scheduled talks on Gaza hostages and a ceasefire agreement, potentially jeopardizing the negotiations at what Israeli officials say is a "now or never" moment for a potential deal between Israel and Hamas.
But one source with direct knowledge of the intelligence said the situation is "still unstable." The assessment, which was made in the last 24 hours, represents a shift, the sources said.
