Israeli Embassies Around the World Put on High Alert Over Potential Iran Retaliation

Israeli embassies around the world have been put on high alert as Israel is bracing for potential retaliation for bombing Iran’s consulate building next to its embassy in Damascus, Syria.

Sources told The Jerusalem Post that some Israeli ambassadors had been warned not to attend public events due to concerns about their safety. The Israeli Foreign Ministry denied earlier reports that said Israel was evacuating many of its embassies around the world.

The Israeli attack on Iran’s consulate marked a huge escalation in Israel’s targeting of Iranians and killed seven members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), including a senior Quds force commander and another general.
