The Israeli military has raised its state of alert and readiness in anticipation of a possible Iranian response to the recent Israeli attack
The Israeli army was put on alert for a new attack by Tehran. By decision of the Israeli security council, the army was put on high alert for a new Iranian attack, as reported by SKAI’s envoy to the region, Stavros Ioannidis.
The Israeli military has raised its state of alert and readiness in anticipation of a possible Iranian response to the recent Israeli attack, military sources also said on Monday. This heightened vigilance includes daily situational assessments across all branches and divisions of the IDF General Staff, including the Home Front Command.
The Israeli military has not ruled out an Iranian response from Syria, Yemen or Iraq, rather than directly from Iran.
For his part, Defense Minister Yoav Galand approved the issuance of 7,000 additional conscription sheets for ultra-Orthodox Israelis (Haredi), Israeli media reported. Galand discussed the issue of Haredi recruitment with Army Chief of Staff Herji Halevi, and all top military commanders.
Iran is planning a sophisticated attack on Israel that could include missiles with high-powered warheads, the Wall Street Journal reports in an exclusive report citing Arab and Iranian officials.
At the same time, according to information available to it, the Iranian army will also be involved in this attack.
“Our army lost people, so they have to answer,” an Iranian official claimed.
Oil prices rose 3% on Monday, with Brent trading above $75 a barrel in the markets.
