The Israeli military calls on citizens of Iraq and Yemen to contact a confidential army Telegram account to report on “terror activities” carried out by Iranian militia groups in their countries.

“I understand the difficult situation you are living in, under the harsh conditions that the militias operating in your countries,” says army spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee in a message to “the citizens of Iraq and Yemen.”

Adraee says he has received “many messages” in recent days: “Some of you send me information about terror activities carried out by the militias. Many of you ask me to contact Israeli authorities so that your country does not find itself in a situation similar to what Iran is experiencing.”

But Adraee adds that he is “not the appropriate address for such requests.”

“The most I can do is direct you to the Israeli Military Intelligence Directorate’s Telegram channel via the link shown on the screen. The link is safe for you and maintains complete confidentiality,” he says.
