What was initially suspected to be a possible car-ramming attack near the West Bank settlement of Ateret is now believed to have been a hit-and-run incident, according to Israeli security officials. The revised assessment follows an incident in which an Israeli civilian was lightly injured after being struck by a vehicle. The driver fled, prompting the IDF and police to launch a search operation and establish roadblocks in the surrounding area.

Israeli security officials are increasingly concerned that Iran may be preparing a preemptive attack, after Western intelligence detected what is being described as "extreme military movements" inside Iran. The concerns come as Israeli security officials assess that Iran has rebuilt its ballistic missile launcher stockpile to roughly the level it held before Operation Roaring Lion began in February. The assessment suggests Iran has managed to replenish much of its launcher inventory despite extensive Israeli and American strikes during the February-April conflict. It remains unclear how many launchers are currently operational or whether Iran has repaired damaged systems or manufactured replacements. Amid the heightened tensions, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke tonight with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The State Department provided no details about the discussion, issuing an unusually brief, one-sentence readout: "Secretary Rubio spoke today with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu." However, a security official with knowledge of the conversation stated military action remains a realistic possibility: "If Tehran does not come to its senses, action is a realistic scenario."

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has confirmed that the aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush has returned to the Arabian Sea following a five-day port visit to Phuket, Thailand, restoring a two-carrier American presence in the region. The nuclear-powered carrier departed Thailand on October 9 after its first port visit since leaving Norfolk, Virginia, on March 31. It had spent more than five months operating in the Middle East, supporting U.S. military operations against Iran and the American naval blockade of Iranian ports. The USS George H.W. Bush is now operating alongside the USS George Washington, which arrived in August to relieve the USS Abraham Lincoln following its extended deployment. The Bush carries Carrier Air Wing 7, including F/A-18 Super Hornet strike aircraft, EA-18G electronic warfare aircraft, and airborne early-warning aircraft. Together with its accompanying guided-missile destroyers, the carrier strike group provides additional offensive and defensive capabilities for American operations in the region. The return comes amid continuing tensions with Iran and an ongoing American military buildup. The Pentagon has also dispatched the USS Theodore Roosevelt carrier strike group toward the Middle East, potentially bringing the number of American aircraft carriers operating in the region to three later this month.
