Israel on high alert for Iranian retaliation after airstrikes
Israeli defence officials have intensified security preparations amid warnings that Iran may be poised to launch a missile strike within hours. The Israel Defence Forces recently carried out precision air raids on military assets, including missile launch sites and drone facilities in Qom and Isfahan, aiming to curb potential threats to Israeli territory. Troop deployments along key borders have been reinforced, alert levels elevated and aerial patrols expanded as authorities prepare for possible swift retaliation from Tehran.
