On Tuesday, November 3, the IDF denied its participation in the attacks on Keshem Island in Iran, which the American media announced that the United States carried out. In response to AFP's question about Israel's participation in covert attacks on this island located in the Strait of Hormuz, the IDF spokesman said: "No." While the Wall Street Journal, citing several officials, reported that the United States carried out airstrikes against Iran's Kashem Island on Monday evening. These sources explained that the purpose of these attacks was to reduce Iran's ability to threaten the movement of commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz. They also said that these attacks were carried out on a limited scale and do not indicate America's desire to renew the war with Tehran. The sources added that Washington did not formally announce the strikes to avoid sending signals that large-scale military operations would resume.
