Israel on highest state of alert on eve of US midterm elections

Israel ·

Israeli media report that military readiness stayed at its peak the day before the US vote. Security services and the army raised their readiness over fears that Iran could launch a surprise attack on Israel or US targets, directly or through allied groups. Concerns persist about a possible resumption of war with Iran.

Israel and Iran have been adversaries for decades, and Iran backs armed groups across the region, including Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthi movement in Yemen, which oppose Israel.
