IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says the US has updated Israel that Iran is intending to launch missiles at the country. “A short while ago, our American allies updated us that they identify preparations by Iran for imminent missile fire at the State of Israel,” says Hagari.
He says that as of now, no aerial threats have been launched at Israel from Iran.
“We’ve dealt with this threat in the past, and we’ll deal with it now,” he says.
He calls on the public to continue to follow the Home Front Command guidelines, noting that they were updated earlier today.
He says the IDF is ready with its defensive and offensive capabilities. The Air Force is “patrolling the skies.”
“We are at the highest readiness — offensive and defensive,” he says.
“Together with the US,” he says, “we are watching developments in Iran.”
“Iranian fire on the State of Israel will have consequences,” he warns. “We have plans and we have capabilities.”
