Gen. Michael Kurilla, head of the US Central Command, lands in Israel.
Kurilla is expected to hold consultations with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and other officials to discuss the threat of an Iranian attack.
The report added that US and Israeli officials across various agencies have been in contact over the last few days, as the countries prepare for a possible response by Tehran to the alleged Israeli strike on April 1 that hit an Iranian consulate building in Damascus that killed two generals among several Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officers.
Yesterday, Bloomberg reported Iran could launch strikes involving high-precision missiles and drones targeting military and government sites in Israel after Iran reiterated its vow to retaliate.
One of the people quoted in the report said it was a matter of when — not if — Tehran will attack Israel.
