Why it matters: The new intelligence assessment indicates an attack could come before the Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal talks planned for Thursday, potentially jeopardizing negotiations at what Israeli officials have said is a "now-or-never" moment for a potential deal between Israel and Hamas.
The assessment, which was drafted in the last 24 hours, represents a shift, the sources said.

If they stop fighting a war started by Hamas, then Hamas attacks, as they promise, again and again
If they keep fighting and kill Hamas, then Iran and Yemen and Lebanon all attack
We also should not forget the that it was the UN that set up a state for Israel, Israel accepted, and then was promptly attacked by Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Not much has changed in 75 years.

It's a Jewish fast day that commemorates the destruction of the first and second Temples and other tragedies.
