The IDF announced today (Thursday) a temporary delay in the departure of the combat units. This, against the background of growing regional tensions following the assassination of the senior Iranian official in Syria last Monday.

This announcement is added to the IDF's decision on recruiting reserves for the air defense system, which was published yesterday. In addition, it was announced that the IDF increased the level of vigilance in the northern arena and around the city of Eilat - with an emphasis on the air control and air defense units.
