Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said Wednesday evening that the IDF's intelligence personnel are on alert and the military is monitoring developments in Iran and other arenas, ready to act forcefully against any enemy that attempts to harm Israeli citizens, according to N13 / Army Radio.
IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir issued a statement Wednesday evening addressing the ongoing developments in the Persian Gulf, saying the military's intelligence personnel are standing guard and the IDF is tracking developments in Iran and other arenas. He stressed the military is ready and prepared to act forcefully against any enemy that attempts to harm Israeli citizens.
The statement comes amid a period of heightened alert following reports of increased Iranian threats. As The Zioneer has reported, Zamir previously stated on July 9 that the IDF was monitoring Iran and Lebanon and ready for action. By July 10, security sources had indicated that Iranian threats had expanded to include Israel. The US military has also been on alert, and the IDF has been ordered to prepare for offensive scenarios.
The current statement does not indicate any specific imminent action, but reinforces the military's posture of readiness. The IDF has not changed its Home Front Command guidelines, and no new warnings have been issued to the public.
