Iran: Israel stepping up covert ops: defence chief

Israel's defence chief has confirmed his forces are carrying out increased special operations beyond the country's borders.

In an interview to be published on Wednesday to mark the eve of Israel's independence day, Lieutenant General Benny Gantz also says Israel is ready to attack Iran's nuclear sites if ordered to do so.

"We think that a nuclear Iran is a very bad thing, which the world needs to stop and which Israel needs to stop - and we are planning accordingly," he said.  "In principle, we are ready to act."
