An American source confirmed to CNN that the leaked documents regarding preparations for an Israeli attack on Iran are authentic and real.

Another source said: "These two documents are bad, but not catastrophic. The fear is that additional information will be leaked."

The details are as follows:

Israel: Air Force continues preparations for strike on Iran, conducts second force exercise, October 15-16, 2024.

The Israeli Air Force continued to engage airborne ballistic missiles (ALBMs), control drones, and conducted a second Low Force Employment Exercise (LFE) on October 15-16, 2024, according to imagery analysis. The Israeli Air Force has engaged at least 16 Golden Horizon ALBMs and at least 1,502 Rocks ALBMs since October 8, according to imagery analysis.

The IAF continued to engage airborne ballistic missiles at Hatzerim Air Base on October 15, 2024. Concealment screens were placed on six F-15I hardened aircraft entrances on October 16, indicating that airborne missile engagement had taken place in the hardened area. We cannot differentiate whether this activity was related to IS02 missiles or Golden Horizon ALBMs. Three Golden Horizon ALBM-related dummies were observed in the vicinity, but no additional personnel were observed in the airborne missile engagement area at Hatzerim Air Base on October 16.

The IAF operated air-to-ground missiles at Ramat David Air Base and Ramon Air Base from October 15-16. Precision-guided munitions were operated at Ramat David Air Base on October 15.

The Israeli Air Force conducted a secret drone activity at the Ramon Air Base during the period from October 15-16.

On October 15, the Israeli Air Force conducted a Level Force Employment (LFE) exercise, the second since October 13, to practice aerial refueling and combat search and rescue operations. At least three KC-707 tankers and G-550 aircraft were involved.
