Israel Takes Security Measures Amid Risks of Iranian Attack
Israel is taking security measures in anticipation of a possible Iranian attack on its territory. Against the backdrop of escalating risks of armed aggression by Iranian forces, Israel has blocked GPS signals to thwart potential missile and drone attacks.
This information came from the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), which also announced the suspension of leave for soldiers serving in combat units.
The Israeli government is concerned about a possible Iranian response, especially considering the approaching Al-Quds Day, a day of solidarity with Palestinians observed on the last Friday of Ramadan. On this day, anti-Israel activities are held in Iran.
Defensive Strategy «Spoofing» Confirmed by IDF
On Thursday, disruptions to the GPS system were observed in central parts of Israel. These security measures help protect the country from weapons that utilize GPS signals. IDF spokesperson, Rear Admiral Danielle Hagari, confirmed the use of such a defensive strategy known as «spoofing.»
Calls for the population not to panic are also coming from the military. It is important to follow official announcements and instructions.
Israeli Embassies on Alert Following Threats from Iran
Some Israeli embassies have been placed on alert or evacuated due to threats from Iran. The situation has escalated after a missile strike on Damascus, which resulted in the death of a senior Iranian commander. Iran blamed Israel for this and promised to respond «harshly.»
Israel believes it can defend itself, and Prime Minister Netanyahu has stated that any attack on Israel will be met with appropriate actions.
