Israel is on high alert in anticipation of a possible counterattack following its accusations that Iranian generals were killed in Damascus this week.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed that whoever harms or intends to harm the nation will be punished.

In response to this threat, Washington stated that Biden made it clear that the United States strongly supports Israel.
Iran vowed revenge for the deaths of two of its generals and five military advisers in an airstrike on an Iranian diplomatic compound in the Syrian capital on Monday.
The strike’s attribution to Israel is widely accepted. Israel has remained silent about the strike.
