(Bloomberg) -- Iran is planning a counterattack on Israel involving more powerful warheads and other weapons, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing Iranian and Arab officials briefed on the plans. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said Sunday the country will “certainly” launch a new attack against Israel, a day after its supreme leader vowed a harsh retaliation. Israel’s Oct. 26 attack, using more than 100 fighter jets on military targets across Iran, killed five people, including a civilian. Separately, Israel’s military said an elite commando unit captured “an Iranian terror network operative” in Syria. The operation in southern Syria “took place in recent months” and thwarted a future attack, the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement on Telegram, without providing specifics.
