IDF Chief Herzi Halevi has issued an order to place the military on high alert, anticipating that Iran may take “extreme” actions against Israel in the near future, according to a report from the Walla news site.
The article, quoting anonymous defense officials, explains that this heightened state of readiness comes as Iran grapples with several internal and external challenges. These include setbacks in Lebanon and Syria, a sharp decline in its currency’s value, growing infrastructure issues, and increasing political instability.
The sources also highlight the added uncertainty for Iran with the imminent return of Donald Trump to the White House later this month.
All these factors have led to Israel’s concerns that Iran may respond aggressively, prompting the IDF to prepare for various potential scenarios, though the report does not provide further details.
