China News Service, Beijing, August 13 Comprehensive News: An Israel Defense Forces spokesman said on the 12th that the Israeli army is on "high alert" to prevent possible attacks by Iran or Lebanon's Hezbollah.
The Times of Israel stated that against the backdrop of rising tensions in the Middle East, IDF spokesman Hagari stated at a press conference on the 12th that Israel takes Iran’s statement seriously and is therefore prepared for the highest level of defense and attack.
Hagari said that in recent days, the Israeli military has been closely following developments in the Middle East, especially the movements of Hezbollah in Lebanon and Iran. The Israeli Air Force has stepped up patrols against Lebanon to detect and intercept threatening targets. He also said that there is no change in the Israeli military's security guidelines for the public. If there are any changes in the future, the public will be updated in a timely manner.
According to Reuters, the United States has recently increased its military deployment in the Middle East again, exceeding the deployment scale before Iran attacked Israel in April this year. John Kirby, strategic communication coordinator of the White House National Security Council, said on the 12th that the United States is ready for "maybe a major attack this week" by Iran or its Middle East proxies. He said that he does not want to see Israel have to defend itself against attacks again, but if Israel is attacked, the United States will continue to help Israel defend itself.
Axios News reported on the 12th that Israeli and American officials revealed that Iran's missile and drone forces have taken preparatory measures similar to those taken before the attack on Israel in April this year. However, the specific time of the attack is still unclear.
