Israel begins evacuating embassies over Iran attack fears
Apr 05, 2024
Jerusalem [Israel], April 5: Israeli news outlet Kann has reported that "a number of Israeli embassies around the world were evacuated after a situation assessment by the Shin Bet [Israeli internal security agency] and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs".
The Israeli military has halted leave for all combat units, called up reservists and blocked GPS coordinates in the country after Iran threatened retaliation for deadly attacks on its consulate in Damascus, Syria.
Though there has been no official comment from the Israeli army, the Israeli media is reading into this as some sort of preparation for retaliation that has been promised by Iran.
It all comes as Israel's defence minister has said that Israel will pursue enemy targets wherever they are - whether in Damascus, Lebanon and throughout the entirety of the Middle East.
The Israeli army has also raised its alert level to the maximum possible state in anticipation of some sort of attack.
