A state of high alert in Israel in anticipation of an Iranian attack on military targets
Israeli media confirmed on Saturday that there is a state of high alert in the Israel in anticipation of a possible Iranian attack, in response to the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, head of Hamas’ political bureau, in the Iranian capital Tehran.
The Israeli Broadcasting Corporation reported, on Saturday evening, that a state of high alert prevails in the country for fear of a strong Iranian response to the assassination of Haniyeh, where Israeli estimates indicated that there will be an Iranian attempt to strike military targets in the middle of Israel, and that the situation within the Israel itself requires a response, but without being dragged into a total war.
According to the Israeli press, Iran plans to challenge the defense systems of Israel and the United States in response to the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, head of Hamas’ political bureau.
Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper explained that Iran is planning a 360-degree strike on the Israel, meaning that the Iranians will try to challenge the defense systems of the Israeli-American-French alliance together, and target the Israeli interior.
Yedioth Ahronoth pointed out, on its website, that the Iranians will try to strike on the Israel in conjunction with all parties, meaning that they are by what the newspaper called militias loyal to Iran in the region or the “axis of resistance”, to attack Israel from several directions, that is, from 360 degrees.
Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper suggested that the Lebanese Hezbollah will participate in the strike, which the axis will direct to Israel, but not in full force and not outside the north of Israel.
The development comes as media reports revealed earlier on Saturday that the Israeli army has recently implemented several measures to increase preparedness and preparedness, amid fears of escalation due to recent assassinations in Beirut and Tehran.
Chanel I24 reported that the Israeli army imposed an exit ban on fighters, especially regular soldiers, from their homes and demanded that they raise the state of alert, adding that the reinforcement and intensification of all formations was monitored, the strengthening of surveillance and intelligence forces, and the deployment of ambushes in the Northern Command area.
The entire Israeli weather corps is on high-level alert, with fighter jets constantly flying in the weather, as well as the completion of the deployment of air defense batteries.
Security forces have also raised the state of alert in the West Bank due to security tensions.
The assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, head of Hamas’ political bureau in Tehran, and Hezbollah military commander, Fouad Shukr, in Beirut continue to cast a shadow over the Middle East political scene.
The Iran and Hezbollah vowed a firm and harsh response to Israel after the assassinations of Shukr and Haniyeh in Beirut and Tehran.
