The Israeli military says Iran has launched a number of drones toward Israel.
According to the Israel Defense Forces’ chief spokesman, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, Israel is anticipating Iranian aircrafts to reach Israel within a few hours.
On Saturday in an English video statement, Hagari commented: “Iran funds, trains, and arms terror proxies across the Middle East and beyond…Iran will bear the consequences for choosing to escalate the situation any further.”
Israel has been on heightened alert since an airstrike last week killed two Iranian generals in Syria. Iran accused Israel of being behind the attack and vowed revenge. Israel has not yet commented on the Syrian attack.
Israel’s war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip has inflamed decade-old tensions in the Middle East, and any new attack threatens to escalate that conflict into a wider regional war.
An Israeli official told Axios that Iran has launched “hundreds of attack drones” from multiple locations, according to BNO News.
