Hundreds of Shiite members of pro-Iranian Kataib Hezbollah militias board buses in Baghdad to be taken to the Iraq-Syria-Jordan border.
From there they will either concentrate on the Golan Heights or move to Lebanon to open new fronts for the Israeli Army.
Tonight, Iran's state TV called on members of the Axis of Resistance to attack Israel from all sides if the Israeli operation is not stopped.
"Iranian television announced to its viewers the plan to attack Israel," Israeli media reported.
"They will be hit from all sides," Iranian television said.
“Shiite militias in Iraq, Syria, Hezbollah in Lebanon and Houthi rebels in Yemen will launch a coordinated attack, including missiles and drones to create a siege of Israel.
"No one will stop the forces of resistance," Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei said on the show.
Iran claims the Houthis have missiles with a range of about 2,000 kilometers (nearly 1,250 miles) and Hezbollah has acquired anti-ship missiles to target Israeli navy ships and Tel Aviv.
Pro-Iranian Iraqi militias have gathered in the Syrian part of the Golan Heights.
"Such an attack could be launched within days if the Supreme Leader's demands to stop Israeli strikes on Gaza are ignored."
In a communication between Iran's army chief, General Mohammad Bagheri, Russia's defense minister, and Qatar's defense minister, Sergei Shoigu, said Israel's ongoing crimes and the help it receives from some in the West may lead others to be forced to join the conflict.
"We are very concerned about a widespread attack on civilians ," he said.
Iran's report of a possible multi-pronged attack on Israel comes as US ships and support vessels gather in the region, including the Arabian Gulf and the Eastern Mediterranean.
Good news for Israel and bad news for V. Zelensky and Ukraine. The US has reportedly approved a plan to supply the IDF with at least 20,000 155mm artillery rounds for the M109A5 Dover systems.
Israeli officials have revealed that the US Department of Defense is now planning to divert thousands, if not tens of thousands, of 155mm artillery shells away from Ukraine and instead send them to Israel for the war against Hamas and Hezbollah.
The Pentagon plans to send to Israel tens of thousands of 155mm artillery shells earmarked for Ukraine from the US emergency stockpile several months ago, three Israeli officials with knowledge of the situation told Israeli media.
U.S. officials said diverting shells from Ukraine to Israel would not have an immediate impact on Ukraine's ability to fight against Russian troops.
"However, it is unclear whether US military supplies to Ukraine could be extended if the Israel-Hamas war becomes a wider regional conflict," the Israelis said.
Beginning in early 2023, the US began removing 155mm artillery shells from its ammunition stockpile in Israel to send to Ukraine.
At the time, the Israeli military told then-Prime Minister Yair Lapid and then-Defense Minister Benny Gantz that there was no immediate scenario in which Israel would need an emergency supply of shells.
That all changed on October 7, Israeli officials said.
The ammunition designated to be given to Ukraine was part of a stockpile of US weapons stored in Israel as part of an agreement between the countries. Only US military personnel have access to weapons storage areas.
After the Hamas attack on October 7, the IDF asked the US Pentagon for an ammunition boost.
