I've Been Thinking:

The scoop in The Sunday Times of London, republished in the New York Post, proclaimed that Israel was preparing a strike against 3 Iranian nuclear facilities. The story should not have surprised anyone.
Israel's claim that the story was false should not have surprised anyone.

It is a reality of our times.
No country threatened with extermination by another country can afford not to have counter attack plans.
By their very nature, some of those plans are defensive and some are offensive.
So, yes, Israel has multiple plans for various attacks against Iran and some of those plans actually involve laser rocket and nuclear tipped weapons.

Like any democracy, Israel needs to make certain that appropriate counter measures to Iran's aggressions are in place, "on the shelf," ready for use.
Without a pre-determined response Israel will be destroyed.
It is either one or the other.
It is that simple.
