Dozens of Israeli fighter jets moved towards the Iranian border.
Modern.az reports that "Axios" spread information about this.
Israel said the move was part of military exercises aimed at deterring the enemy.
However, some American officials suspected that Israel was deliberately trying to provoke Iran into firing at Israeli planes. This could potentially be used to justify a renewed strike against Iran.
The operation came after reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on US President Donald Trump to consider the possibility of a new strike against Iran.
