Israel’s Defense Minister, Yoav Gallant, has stated that Israel is prepared to handle any scenario that may develop with Iran, Reuters reports. This statement comes as Israel remains on alert for a possible retaliatory attack following the killing of Iranian generals on April 1.
Gallant’s office issued a statement after he conducted an “operational situation assessment” with senior military officers. The statement emphasized that the defense establishment has completed preparations for responses in the event of any scenario involving Iran.
The tensions escalated after a suspected Israeli strike in Damascus killed seven Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps members, including a senior commander. While Israel has not officially confirmed its involvement in the strike, its leaders have indicated that they are operating against Iran, alleging Iran’s support for Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Iran has threatened to retaliate for the strike, raising concerns about further escalation in the region. Both Hamas and Hezbollah have been engaged in combat with Israel over the past six months.
It’s essential to monitor the situation closely for any developments, as tensions between Israel and Iran continue to remain high.
