IDF ‘prepared with peak readiness in attack and defense’ amid threat of Iran, Hezbollah attack

IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says the military has increased its readiness in recent days as potential Hezbollah and Iranian attacks on Israel loom.

“In the past week, we have improved and increased our readiness and preparedness. We continue intelligence gathering and attack efforts in the skies of Lebanon, and in all the fronts, all the time,” Hagari says in a press conference.

“We are prepared with peak readiness in attack and defense, and we will act in accordance with the instructions of the political echelon,” he says.

“The Air Force, the Northern Command, the Intelligence Directorate, the Operations Directorate and the Home Front Command, all of them, work around the clock in defense and attack,” Hagari continues.

He says that there are no changes to instructions for civilians as of yet. “If there is a change we will update immediately,” Hagari says.
