The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has confirmed a reduction in the number of mobilized reservists while maintaining a heightened state of alert due to ongoing negotiations between the US and Iran. Senior IDF officers believe that Israel's political leadership is not involved in the core discussions, making it difficult to ascertain the actual progress of the negotiations. Major-General Shlomi Binder, head of Military Intelligence, is leading efforts to monitor the capabilities of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) following previous military operations. The IDF remains vigilant against the possibility of an Iranian surprise attack, particularly if negotiations collapse. Concerns have also been raised regarding the potential inclusion of Hezbollah in any ceasefire agreement, which Israel's defense establishment firmly opposes. An IDF officer emphasized the importance of being prepared for any sudden developments and maintaining a high alert status to respond swiftly to political decisions regarding military action.
