Israel Raises Combat Readiness After Iran Renews Threats
Iran’s Islamic Guard (IRGC) terrorist group: “Deadly attacks against Israel will be carried out soon.”
Israel raised the combat readiness of its armed forces after Iran renewed terror threats against the country. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Thursday temporarily halted the leave for combat soldiers, stating that the nation was “at war.”
“In accordance with the situational assessment, it has been decided that leave will be temporarily paused for all IDF combat units,” the military said in a press release on Thursday. “The IDF is at war and the deployment of forces is under continuous assessment according to requirements.”
The announcement comes a day after the IDF raised the number of troops manning its missile and aerial defense capabilities. The military disclosed on Wednesday that it was going to “increase manpower and draft reserve soldiers to the IDF Aerial Defense Array.”
On Wednesday, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, threatened to ‘punish’ Israel after a series of alleged Israeli air raids in Syria and Lebanon killed several top commanders of the regime’s Islamic Guard (IRGC) terrorist group and Hezbollah operatives.
“The Zionist regime will be punished by the hands of our brave warriors,” Khamenei said in a statement. “We will make them regret this crime and the like by [Allah’s] grace.”
“Deadly attacks against Israel will be carried out soon,” the IRGC threatened, according to the Israeli news website YNET. Similar threats were issued by Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and other members of the Shia-Islamic regime.

The Jerusalem Post reported the IDF’s decision to ramp up defense preparedness:
The IDF announced on Thursday it had decided to temporarily halt leave for combat units, moments before the head of the IDF’s Military Intelligence Directorate, Aharon Haliva, warned Israel is facing “complex days” ahead amid increasing threats of strikes by Iran. (…)
Haliva also warned that he was “not sure that the worst is behind us.” (…)
The decisions come amid heightened tensions in Israel and increasing threats by Iran in the wake of the alleged Israeli strike in Syria, which killed senior Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) commander Mohammad Reza Zahedi.
On Thursday, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi spoke of the “heavy price” Israel would pay for the attack. (…)
Later on Thursday, IDF Spokesperson R.-Amd. Daniel Hagari wrote a calming message on X. “The Home Front Command’s directives remain unchanged. There is no need to buy generators, store food, and withdraw money from ATMs.”
In addition, Hagari said the military would update the public immediately should any changes to its directives ensue.
In a statement made to the press later on Thursday, Hagari appeared to warn Iran, stating that the Israeli military “strengthened the preparedness of our combat units…the planes are ready to strike.
“The Israeli military is prepared for all scenarios,” Hagari reassured.

Since October 7, Hezbollah and other Iranian terrorist proxy groups intensified rocket fire and cross-border incursions into northern Israel, forcing some 80,000 Israeli civilians to flee their homes.
The Israeli military carried out retaliatory strikes on Thursday after Hezbollah fired more rockets towards northern Israel. “The IDF says it carried out airstrikes against Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon’s Yaroun, Aynata, and Maroun al-Ras a short while ago,” The Times of Israel reported.

Hostage release ‘will only come from stronger pressure,’ IDF Chief of Staff Halevi
With more than 100 Israeli hostages still believed to be languishing in Hamas captivity, the Israeli military will continue to mount pressure on the Gaza-based terrorists.
The hostage release “will only come from stronger pressure,” IDF Chief of Staff, Lt.-Gen. Herzi Halevi assured on Wednesday, “and we will press as much as necessary.”
Despite enormous pressure from the Biden White House and other Western allies, the IDF is going ahead with a military and humanitarian plan to enter the last-standing terrorist stronghold of Rafah, where Hamas’ top leadership is hiding behind Israeli hostages and Gaza civilians.
The IDF was conducting operations across Gaza, eliminating Hamas’s terrorist fighting force, destroying weapons cache, and dismantling terrorist infrastructure.

The Israeli TV channel i24NEWS reported:
In a visit to Khan Yunis on Wednesday, IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi reiterated the paramount importance of securing the release of abducted individuals, emphasizing the need for escalated pressure to achieve this critical objective.
Accompanied by esteemed commanders, including Colonel Yaron Finkelman of the Southern Command and Lieutenant Colonel Dan Goldfuss of Division 98, Halevi conducted a comprehensive assessment of the regional situation.
Engaging in dialogue with commando unit leaders and fighters, he lauded their unwavering dedication and valor in the ongoing operations within the Gaza Strip.
Halevi’s words carried weight as he addressed the troops, acknowledging their resilience amid challenging circumstances. “Bringing about an agreement on the release of abductees is a supreme, very important task,” he declared. “It will only come from stronger pressure, and we will press as much as necessary.”
Expressing admiration for the troops’ steadfastness, Halevi emphasized the significance of their contributions to dismantling enemy infrastructure and neutralizing threats. “Another regiment being dismantled, another commander killed, another infrastructure destroyed, this is the way to bring pressure to eventually release the kidnapped,” he asserted.
Halevi’s visit underscored the IDF’s unwavering commitment to upholding security objectives while prioritizing the safe return of abducted individuals. Amid the complex dynamics of the region, his words resonated with resolve and determination, according to a statement from the IDF.
Israel’s war cabinet minister Gantz calls for early election
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s political rival and current minister in his war cabinet, Benny Gantz, has called for an early election in September. Gantz, who previously served as Israel’s defense minister and military chief, does not have enough lawmakers in the parliament to force an election. Gantz’s National Unity party has twelve members in the 120-seat Knesset.
President Joe Biden’s administration regards Gantz as the preferred candidate to replace Prime Minister Netanyahu, as recent media reports suggest. In early March, “Joe Biden’s White House did something highly unusual — it treated a visiting foreign cabinet minister as though he were head of government,” the British newspaper Financial Times noted. “Praying that Benny Gantz will replace Benjamin Netanyahu as the country’s next prime minister is now the US president’s unofficial policy.”
President Biden reportedly had an ‘angry’ phone conversation with the Israeli prime minister, according to the NBC News on Thursday:
A U.S. official said ahead of the call that Biden intended to convey his anger over the incident to Netanyahu during their conversation.
The call between the two leaders was arranged after the strike occurred, said a separate U.S. official, who described Biden as being “very angry” about the incident.
The president’s anger is “indicative of the broader problem of how the Israelis are conducting their operations,” for “either not passing on to their military the deconfliction details from World Central Kitchen, or they’re being received and ignored,” the official said.
The news agency Reuters reported Minister Gantz’s demand:
Israel war cabinet member Benny Gantz called for national elections in September on Wednesday, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government faces pressure at home and abroad over the war in Gaza.
“We must agree on a date for elections in September, towards a year to the war if you will,” Gantz said in a televised briefing. “Setting such a date will allow us to continue the military effort while signaling to the citizens of Israel that we will soon renew their trust in us.” (…)
His Likud party on Wednesday said Gantz must “stop engaging in petty politics” during the war. “Elections now will bring about paralysis, division, harm to the fighting in Rafah and a fatal blow to the chances of a hostage deal,” Likud said.
Gantz, a former army general, joined Netanyahu’s government in the early days of the war as a gesture of political unity during the crisis. Polls suggest his party would come top in any election and he would be favourite to take over as premier.
Not just President Biden and his staffers, but even First Lady Jill Biden disapproves of the way Israel is conducting the war against Hamas with Netanyahu at the helm. Mrs. Biden has been telling the president to “stop it now, Joe,” referring to Israel’s ongoing military operation in Gaza, news outlets reported Thursday.
The Sky News (UK) reports:
Jill Biden has been privately urging her husband to end the war between Israel and Hamas and the crisis in Gaza, according to reports.
While speaking with a group of Muslim community leaders at the White House on Tuesday, the president allegedly said that the first lady had told him to “stop it, stop it now, Joe”.
Israel busts terror cell planning to murder national security minister, attack Ben Gurion airport
Israel’s domestic security agency Shin Bet busted a Palestinian terrorist cell on Thursday, planning to assassinate the country’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and attack several sites, including Ben Gurion airport. The security service arrested 11 Arab Israeli and Palestinian suspects residing in Israel and the PLO-controlled West Bank.

The newspaper Israel Hayom reported:
Israel has foiled a terror cell that planned to carry out attacks in Israel, particularly targeting National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, as well as other sensitive targets, according to an announcement on Thursday morning.
According to the Shin Bet security agency, a joint operation with the IDF and Israel Police exposed the terrorist cell consisting of Arab Israelis and Palestinians from the West Bank.
Following an investigation, 11 suspects were arrested.
Bilal Nasasara, a resident of the southern Bedouin city of Rahat, was identified as heading the terror cell operating and recruiting others from within Israel. Akram Amer, a resident of Tulkarm, was identified as responsible for recruiting operatives in the West Bank.
Their targets included the Ben-Gurion International Airport, government buildings in Jerusalem, IDF bases and other secure facilities.
The plan to assassinate Ben-Gvir was described as an attack against the Kiryat Arba community in the West Bank area of Hebron, intending to use an RPG to kill him.

And Biden walks away from Israel, rewards Hamas, end ensures that other states will have to engage in the same type of warfare, enemies hiding among the people.
” Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi spoke of the “heavy price” Israel would pay for the attack”
Isn’t it time to clip Iran’s wings? Perhaps Israel should publicly or privately let Iran know that nukes are on the table?
Iran is trying to overwhelm Israel. With Traiter Joe handicapping Israel, they may have to take drastic action.
Maybe just destroy Iran’s nuclear capability. The world will shriek condemnation in public, then send Israel thanks in private.
That would not stop Iran’s ongoing terrorism. And I Israel feels they are backed into a corner, they may well resort to extreme measures.
Expect more American hostages tortured by islamists.
There will be a new norm in warfare if Hamas and it’s techniques are not obliterated.
Speaking of Americans, Biden seems to have no interest that Hamas killed them on October 7.

Nor any other American citizen
Think Haiti
Think Afghanistan
Any other President
But I digress, Queen Dr Jill has spoken
Just think if this was President Trump
BY the way,
What a dick Gantz is and if he would get the majority, Israel would be wiped off the face of the earth
“Gantz, a former army general, joined Netanyahu’s government in the early days of the war as a gesture of political unity during the crisis. Polls suggest his party would come top in any election and he would be favourite to take over as premier.“
What war exactly?
Netanyahu appears to have folded in the fight against Hamas. Gantz is correct to be upset about that.
Biden just got off the phone with Netanyahu, having demanded–demanded–that Israel agree to an immediate ceasefire with Hamas.
Biden will do anything–anything–to get reelected.
No matter how damaging to the world, world peace, the country, the American people, or American interests throughout the world.
Biden needs to go.
It’s cute that you think that Biden is the primary problem.
He’s an incompetent moron at the best of times.
He only does crap like this because everybody around him is telling him if he doesn’t then he’s going to lose his election. Not because he’s actually made any kind of actual critical analysis himself.
If Biden died of a heart attack last week, President Harris would have done the exact same thing.
The average Democrat wants Israel wiped off the map.
Distinction without difference.
No one has ever gotten away with running a shadow government like Jill Biden and Obama appear to be running.
War is engulfing the world and evil regimes run amok, on the vile, evil and stupid Dhimmi-crats’ watch. But, hey — the “adults” are allegedly back in charge, LOL; so the media sycophants/lapdogs/trained seals/shills perpetually tell us.
And, we are supposed to give a damn what “Dr.” Jill Biden think about the situation? That’s rich.
I haven’t seen one prominent Dhimmi-crat apparatchik, or, a single Muslim imam or “community leader”in the U.S., unequivocally, unambiguously and staunchly condemn Hamas’s genocidal charter, murders, rapes, atrocities and kidnappings. Not a single one.
Every single Dhimmi-crat and Muslim “leader” has played up the transparently fallacious, dishonest and contrived propaganda narrative/mythology of alleged Arab Muslim Fakestinian victimhood and grievance, rather than condemn the genocidal, Islamofascist ideology of hate that undergirds this war, and, the entire Fakestinian-Israeli conflict.
Sen Fetterman came pretty damn close to the mark in supporting Israel and rejecting any sort of moral equivalence arguments from Hamas supporters.
That’s true. He’s been the only one unabashedly supporting Israel and condemning Hamas, on the Left. That’s to his credit, and, to the Dhimmi-crat Party’s great dishonor and disgrace.
Is it not interesting how Hamas protesters never returned to Federman’s residence? His flag-waving, rooftop defiance, threatened to upend the anti-Israel Democratic Party bloc.
It’s all astroturfed and inorganic.
I don’t know that the protests are “inorganic.” The Dhimmi-crat agitators are certainly easily manipulated and ginned-up, by the Party elders/standard-bearers and media shills/lapdogs. But, that said, the pervasive Jew-hate and hatred of Israel on the left — the products of decades of Dhimmi-crats’ contemptible and indefensible amplification of and parroting of manifestly dishonest, contrived and fallacious Muslim supremacist propaganda mythologies of alleged Fakestinian victimhood and grievance, and, equally dishonest slanders and vilification of Israel — are very much ingrained in the Dhimmi-crat Party mainstream, now, and, have taken deep root among the Dhimmi-crat voter masses.
Yeah. I agree with you about indoctrination. I simply don’t believe their choice of protest targets are organic.
WP formatting FTW.
He is the only senator on the Dem side that is true of, and a reminder that most Americans are not with Biden.
Just one Democrat… Fetterman, he’s better than anyone thought he would be
Must of gotten some therapy in the Psy Hospital, most of them aren’t worth a dime
Know who has unequivocally damned the 7 Oct terror attack? Mosab Yousef, son of a co-founder of Hamas.
https://twitter.com/DrEliDavid/status/1775870570589986874
Love the shocked look on the face of the western chick in the Palestinian costume.
Just noting that Israel is extremely capable in the defense field, however it is also a numbers game. They cannot stay on 100% alert forever. Eventually, they are going to be faced with the decision of whether or not to use their forces offensively before they wear out. I’m betting that they will not back down.
And if they have half a lick of sense they will not trust the US not to be an enemy.
Subotai Bahadur
Will Biden share intel with Iran? Will DOD open a hot line with Iran?
That is not my bet. Isreal looks like it is folding in Gaza. 100 hostages, who may already be dead, is nothing against thousands more Israelis over time, if they do not wipe out Hamas now. Furthermore, keeping going makes it tougher for Biden to ger re-elected. Trump is much better for Israel’s security, especially with respect to Iran.
There actually are valid reasons for Netanyahu to fold. Isolation from the west is an existential threat to any country, let alone Israel that is isolated from much of the non-Western world.
The way he is folding however (Phony war that eliminates Israel’s deterrence making war with Hezbollah extremely likely without actually getting the reset with Europe that folding publicly provides, and not eliminating Hamas either) is indefensible.
You guys went Israel to fold so bad you can taste it 😂
You also didn’t think Israel would go so hard at Hamas and yet here we are 😂
April is only days old and you’re getting hard at the idea Israel is folding in spite of Israel being set to enter the final stage of this part of the conflict.
I know you want this bad but just like Hamas I suspect bitter disappointment is in store for you guys this month 😂
Our government is the enemy
Yeah, same problem with the calls for “cease fire” and whatever.
“Cease fire” means Israeli forces remain spread with two, three, or four active fronts. Eliminate Hamas active capabilities in Gaza knocks that down by one. The de-tangled forces can change the balance in another location — my bet’s South Lebanon.
I hope for the same, Israel is being bankrupted, they need to shift from precise strike to ones which inflict immediate large scale damage, especially with Lebanon, Sierra and Iran.
On January 19, 2021, the Middle East was at peace.
The next day, a corrupt fraud put his right hand in the air and swore an oath to the Constitution and the people of the United States, vowing to protect them.
And the downward spiral, a plummet really, began there.
Hamas had their ceasefire on October 6, 2023, and broke it the next day. If they were sincerely interested in a ceasefire, why did they break the one they had?
Israel’s ceasefire terms should be:
Unconditional surrender of Hamas
Surrender of all war materials
Surrender of all Hamas leadership for trials in Israeli courts (Hamas’ crimes were committed there)
Return of all hostages
Gaza will remain under occupation until a government is organized that meets Israel’s approval
It was an appropriate policy against Germany and Japan, it’s appropriate for Hamas.
Agreed until this: “It was an appropriate policy against Germany and Japan, it’s appropriate for Hamas”
It was an appropriate policy against Germany and Japan, it’s not appropriate for Hamas. and those who support terror. Drive Pales to the ocean and allow those who are willing to take them in to do so. Let the rest start swimming. They have made it very clear that will not, cannot live with Jews, that is their choice.
Different time, while apan’s cultur
At the moment, the biggest existential threat to Israel is Joe Biden and his CIA….
…which not coincidentally, that’s the greatest existential threat to America right now, as well.
All these folks upset about a Stoke on an ‘air convoy’ need to keep in mind that this is a war. Mistakes happen in the heat of the conflict. No one in the zone of conflict is given any sort of iron clad guarantee they won’t be targeted. If you don’t want to be targeted stay out of the zone of the conflict. Baring that make sure your NGO is a 100% historically reliable organization in terms of refusing to work with Hamas either de facto or de jure, that your aid convoys are fully deconflicted and have permission to follow a particular route at a particular time. Even then be prepared for.the fog of war or the fickle finger of fate to choose your convoy for bad things.
Their not upset, they are just happy to have a “reason” to overtly betray the ONLY real Allie we have in the ME
I don’t think any Country would ever believe America Again
They all saw what happened to Gaddafi
I’m sure he wished he still had those nukes when he was being sodomized and beaten to death
He deserved the ending he got, but he got it because he believed America
NK definitely took notice
It is more damaging than you think because dictators around the world saw the contrast not just between a dictator keeping his nukes and giving them up, but between the Russia backed Assad getting a Russian Army to retake Aleppo for him, and Gaddafi.
Unfortunately the VP from that administration is now president.
The folks who are overstepping in their condemnation of the Israeli strike on the ‘aid convoy’ ain’t betraying anything, most are simple acting on their pre-existing beliefs. They don’t want Western Civilization to exist and Israel is the Bastian of Western Civilization in the ME.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/israel-has-created-a-new-standard-for-urban-warfare-why-will-no-one-admit-it-opinion/ar-BB1kw2Wf
It isn’t just a new standard, the truly remarkable thing is it was done almost at exactly the same time Russia reused the antiquated standards.
Looking at Aleppo, Russia won that with minimum losses to Russian soldiers with massed artillery that actually did kill indiscriminately (and everyone cheered).
Not even Saddam Hussein was defeated by purely air strikes.
Unlike America in the gulf wars Israel loses tremendously every mistake that happens.
The only way Israel wins is a ground offensive which Netanyahu has made clear he won’t do.
Danny,
Not for nothing but I was in Iraq when Saddam was ‘defeated’ and frequently sent back by good old Uncle Sam after his defeat. So I am well aware of the value of boots on the ground. I was in Ramadi during the Anbar Awakening running Combat Operations embedded/advising the Iraqi Army v some very bad boys for 16 months straight from July 06-Nov 07. I have a good handle on urban combat.
What you seem to be proposing is a rolling artillery barrage to annihilate everything in Gaza. I’m ok with it but there’s no way Israel is gonna do that, Heck we wouldn’t do it and wouldn’t get by with it if we tried. The ‘world’ would go berserk.
Isolating Hamas into smaller geographic pockets allows Israel to mass its forces v smaller groupings and defeat the enemy in detail. Takes longer but it is more thorough and in the end more effective long term. All these pockets have leadership who will try to communicate with each other and Hamas leaders outside Gaza; all that creates a digital/electronic footprint to track down other cells but also helps expose mid level and SR Hamas leaders to detection and elimination.
They also have to keep the ability to respond to Hezbollah and Iranian mischief in Lebanon and Syria. That’s a lot of territory to worry about. IMO, Israel’s current strategy is very professional and methodical; eating the apple one bite at a time v trying to swallow the whole thing and choking on it.
Funny, I don’t remember Biden taking any serious heat for that aid worker and his family killed via drone strike in Kabul. The one he called a “righteous terrorist strike”.
Nobody was fired or even reprimanded for that one.
https://www.breitbart.com/middle-east/2024/04/05/watch-pentagon-dodges-question-about-why-no-one-fired-for-afghanistan-drone-strike/
Methinks he protests too much.
Nope, it doesn’t suit the narrative for media, the taking heads or international NGO to make much fuss when one of their ideological fellow travelers effs up.
American people need to stand up for Israel
Our churches are silent
I’m disgusted
Western leaders conjured mayhem from nothingness.
@POLITICOEurope
“Defense chief Boris Pistorius is revamping the German military to prepare for war.”
They have like ONE sub and it’s not even working
Their army would be majority muslim probably
Far left EU media (English language) writers have been promoting continental war for months. This fresh call to arms being the endgame result of the media-government propaganda campaign.
The EU leadership just now appointed a Finn to investigate the EU’s ill preparedness – since the Finns never quite let their guard down and will not shrink from telling Germany etc., how truly f’k they really are.
Another part of PoliticoEU’s chickenhawk warmongering being a renewed effort to revamp the EU’s arms industry capacity.
This is happening because Netanyahu eliminated Israel’s deterrence entirely.
It isn’t about media war mongering it is about what happens when you live in a world of existential threats and have a weasel at the head of your government who issues fake red lines.
It is why Obama’s Syria Red Line was such a big deal, except unlike America Israel will suffer for Netanyahu’s phony war.
Well, this isn’t the first time that the
ObamaBiden administration has interfered in internal Israeli politics.Seems like their man in Israel should be impeached, or something, for colluding with a foreign power. That’s how this works, now, right?
“Israel’s war cabinet minister Gantz calls for early election”
Means he thinks they’re winning.
Or he is sick to death of Netanyahu’s phony war, and wants to save Israel from being a pariah state?
An indefinite phony war where the west is convinced Israel is doing unspeakable things weakens Israel.
An indefinite phony war makes Israel look absurd and weak to everyone and invites further attack.
An indefinite phony war empowers Hamas dramatically
An indefinite phony war does nothing for security.
Netanyahu chose not to finish off Hamas.
There are debatable reasons for that such as Israel’s collapse in the Western World, and American hostility because Biden’s two states are Dearborn and Minnesota.
Surrendering while claiming to still be fighting knowing each day exterminates Israel more and more within the western world and exterminating Israel’s deterrence by lying through his teeth and claiming an attack will come by (fill in one of Netanyahu’s endless missed dates he promised an attack by)
If I was Gantz I would be pissed off at Netanyahu to.
Don’t blame a patriot for hating a weasel.
biden stated:
if even one pallet of money is disturbed by netanyahoooo……….
humanitarian workers are murde red rayy ped etc by hamas and that is seen as justice by the blmplo tribes
Netanyahu really has to either admit he has surrendered to save Israel from destruction at American hands or go into Gaza and finish Hamas.
The draw maximum conflict from Biden without any Hamas conflict is a recipe for causing Hezbollah to launch a war, with no benefit at all for Israel besides further losses both at home and abroad.
If I was an Israeli I would want Netanyahu arrested for both destroying Israel internationally by pretending to fight a war, while not destroying Hamas.
Israel right now has the costs of finishing Hamas without the benefits of removing Hamas.
I have lost all respect for Netanyahu, the benefits of capitulation to the west will not happen if he doesn’t admit he has capitulated, if he wishes to destroy Hamas nothing like the present time instead of next century to do it.
Oh Danny boy,
Something is calling you
Where am I wrong? His weekly declaration he will be going into Gaza any minute? Or the Western turn against him demanding the war end soon?
Right now he is subjecting Israel to media bloodbath that is a gigantic existential threat, while also subjecting it to the existential threat of further attack from other parties who saw him lose against Hamas, while not removing the existential threat of Hamas.
He is wonderful at performing for a camera, for defending his nation not so much.
Jews are being attacked everywhere for defending Israel.
By deciding it will be an indefinite phony war instead of finishing a real war or admitting he has ended it unilaterally Netanyahu is doing great harm to Jews everywhere.
He also has let the media know it is more powerful than Israel.
If Gantz had been in charge likely Hamas would have been eliminated by now, there would have been a small fraction of the international damage to Israel, and Hezbollah would not be in the process of starting a new war.
No matter how logical your thoughts are, writing with made-up and intentionally misspelled words with triple and quadruple adjectives, causes the reader to have a harder time understanding what you’re trying to communicate. It actually becomes so difficult for me that I sometimes just quit reading and skip to the next comment. All people understand simple sentences better than they understand complicated sentences.
Is it just me or does anyone else want to hand that IDF soldier in the picture a magazine for his empty rifle?
