Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Saturday night warned that Israel is "closely monitoring" a planned attack by Iran.
"We are closely monitoring a planned attack by Iran and its proxies against the State of Israel," he said. "In recent days we have strengthened our defensive and offensive array and we are determined to take any measures required to defend the citizens of the State of Israel."
"We have added new capabilities - on land, in the air, at sea, in our intelligence directorate, within the State of Israel and together with our partners, led by the United States."
Gallant stressed, "Iran is a terrorist state - the world is seeing this now more than ever."
"We are determined to defend our citizens against this terrorism, and we will know how to respond to it.
"I ask the citizens of Israel to follow the instructions published by the IDF and the Home Front Command."
