Israeli security forces have significantly increased readiness, according to a Channel 14 report Saturday evening. The report states that personnel on standby may be called up at any moment, and that the system is prepared to transition from routine to emergency if U.S. President Donald Trump gives the green light for an attack. Evening assessments cited in the report indicate that if Trump orders a broad strike, Iran would launch missiles toward Israel.
Later Saturday evening, Channel 14 reported that if U.S. President Donald Trump orders a broad strike against Iran, Tehran would launch missiles toward Israel. The report, which cites evening assessments, adds a specific Iranian response scenario to the heightened state of alert that has been building through the day.
Earlier Saturday at 20:35 Jerusalem, multiple reports emerged: Channel 12 reported that Israel was placed on the highest state of alert, with senior officials holding consultations throughout the weekend; the IDF's Military Intelligence Directorate, Operations Division, and Air Force conducted situational assessments; and the Israeli security establishment was described as being at peak alert, bracing for potential regional escalation. Notably, the security cabinet has not been convened, according to earlier reports. The assessments cited by Channel 14 align with these earlier concerns that any significant U.S. strike on Iran could draw Israel into the conflict.
As The Zioneer has reported, U.S. B-52 bombers entered Saudi airspace and American bases in Gulf countries raised their alert levels to maximum. Israeli officials have stated that the security apparatuses are awaiting the president's decision, and that the question of escalation depends on whether Iran chooses to fire toward Israel. The Home Front Command's defensive guidelines for the Israeli public remain unchanged, currently in effect until Sunday, June 14, 2026, at 20:00.
The Channel 14 report is a single-source report. No official confirmation from the IDF or the Home Front Command has been provided at this time. The security cabinet remains unconvened.
