IRAN is preparing to imminently launch a ballistic missile attack on Israel, a senior US official said.
The official said the US is actively supporting Israeli defensive preparations before warning of "severe consequences" if the attack were carried out.
The White House official said: "We are actively supporting defensive preparations to defend Israel against this attack.
"A direct military attack from Iran against Israel will carry severe consequences for Iran."
And a senior Israeli official told Axios that the attack will be carried out in the next few hours, according to the latest intelligence.
The warning comes as Israel launched its ground offensive Operation "Northern Arrows" targeting Hezbollah strongholds following waves of devastating airstrikes.
Heavy fighting continued to rage in southern Lebanon today as 25,000 Israeli troops stepped up their ground war to smash Hezbollah rocket sites.
Israeli commanders said the invasion would be “limited, localised and targeted” and would not involve an occupation.
But clashes intensified through the night with Hezbollah launching rocket and artillery barrages toward Israeli troops massing on the border.
Terror troops responded to the onslaught by launching early hours rocket and artillery barrages against the border town of Metula inside Israel.
