Israel is preparing for threats from Tehran against the background of the elimination of the Revolutionary Guards. The IDF thickened the air defense system and delayed the departure of the special unit fighters to their homes.

Municipalities throughout the country ordered to open shelters and obey the directives of the Home Command. Israel is ready to respond if attacked by Iran, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at the meeting of the political-security cabinet that convened this evening. "We made it clear to the US that if Iran attacks us from its territory, we will have to respond," Israeli senior officials said.
