Israel’s Air Force has completed preparations for a possible attack on Iran, according to local media on Monday.

The Israeli public broadcaster KAN said Tel Aviv is planning a “limited response” that would allow Iran to contain it, to avoid an all-out war.

Israel seeks to keep the Gaza Strip as the main battlefield, and doesn't want to turn it into a secondary front, KAN said.
