In light of the preparation for the Iranian response, the channel reported that instructions were issued to Israeli embassies abroad to raise the level of alert to confront various threats, as Israeli ambassadors and diplomatic representatives were asked to lower their profiles and not go to crowded places.
She also noted that the General Security Service (Shabak) issued unusual security instructions to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government ministers in light of preparations for an Iranian response to the assassination of the leader of the Palestinian factions movement, Ismail Haniyeh, in Tehran.
The instructions given to Netanyahu and ministers state that any participation in a mass event requires a protected and nearby space.
At the same time, the head of the Israeli General Security Service (Shin Bet) Ronen Bar issued a direct order stating that every tour by the prime minister and ministers requires his personal approval.
The security establishment estimates that the response to the assassinations will come in the coming days.
The security establishment in Tel Aviv confirmed that it is preparing for a variety of scenarios, including the launching of rockets and missiles, a drone attack, and even attempts to penetrate the northern border, indicating that the Northern Command is well prepared for all these possibilities.
According to the same source, senior officials in the defense system held discussions and assessments on Wednesday regarding the broad defense that Israel can provide alongside the regional air defense alliance and the American defense umbrella, as happened on the night of the Iranian missiles in April.
On Wednesday, the Palestinian factions movement and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard announced the “martyrdom of the movement’s political bureau chief, Ismail Haniyeh, and one of his security team members in Tehran.”
Palestinian factions confirmed that he was assassinated in an Israeli raid that targeted his residence in the Iranian capital.
The Iranian authorities opened an investigation into the circumstances of Haniyeh’s assassination in Tehran, confirming that the results will be announced at a later time. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard said, “We are studying the dimensions of the incident of Haniyeh’s martyrdom in Tehran and will announce the results of the investigation later.”
Israeli media reported that the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued instructions to government ministers not to comment on the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh.
The New York Times reported on Wednesday evening, citing three informed Iranian officials, that Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei ordered a direct strike on Israel in response to the assassination of the leader of the Palestinian factions movement, Ismail Haniyeh.
The Israeli army also announced on Tuesday evening, July 30, the assassination of the leader of the Lebanese factions movement, Fouad Shukr.
The two assassinations (Haniyeh and Shukr) raise great fears of a major escalation that will lead to a regional war.
