I believe I’ve read before that Israel uses this paper and some reporters to put out stories (without attribution to themselves in the Israeli government) in order to gauge world opinion, ahead of some action they are planning. And also, they do it to soften up and get world opinion used to an idea or plan of action they are contemplating.

This could be what is going on here...

I was thinking much the same thing, but you articulated it much better than I ever could have. This smacks of an intentional leak, which is not to say that they won’t do it.
