Israel Prepares for Possible Iranian Attack
High-Level Meeting to Discuss Response
Tensions Escalate in Middle East
Jerusalem, Israel - Israel's Prime Minister is preparing to meet with top officials to discuss the potential for an Iranian attack on the country, according to local media. Tensions have been high since last week's air strike that targeted Iranian military sites in Syria. Tehran has vowed retaliation, raising concerns within the Israeli government.
In recent months, Iran-backed militias have carried out several attacks against U.S. forces in Iraq, Syria, and Jordan. U.S. officials believe that Iran could be planning a similar strike against Israel, but one that would be limited enough to avoid provoking a full-scale war.
As a precautionary measure, Israel has deployed its Iron Dome missile defense system and is increasing security at military and government facilities. The U.S. has also sent several warships to the Eastern Mediterranean, and has pledged to provide Israel with any necessary support to defend itself.
The possibility of an Iranian attack has raised concerns among Israelis and foreigners alike. The country's economy has been hit hard by the conflict with Hamas, and an Iranian attack could further destabilize the region and impact global oil prices.
Prime Minister [Prime Minister's Name] is expected to announce the results of the security meeting later today. He is also likely to discuss the government's plans to respond to a possible Iranian attack.
