Two highly classified US intelligence documents detailing Israel’s preparations for an attack on Iran were leaked online, New York Times reports.

The documents are from the US National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA), which is responsible for analysing images and information collected by US spy satellites, and provide information on Israeli military exercises and operational readiness.

One of the documents is titled “Israel: Air Force Continues Preparations to Strike Iran” and it describes recent Israeli exercises that appear to rehearse a possible military operation against Iran.

The second document reveals Israeli efforts to move ammunition and other military assets to strategic locations.
