Zionist Regime Withdraws Ambassadors in Fear of Iran’s Retaliation
BEIRUT (Dispatches) -- The Israeli regime has withdrawn its ambassadors and evacuated embassies in multiple countries amid fears of an Iranian retaliation for a terrorist strike against the Islamic Republic’s diplomatic mission in Syria.
The Yedioth Ahronoth daily newspaper said the embassies include those in Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, and Turkey among other countries.
Israeli journalist and military commentator Itay Blumental shared in a post on X, that “as part of the assessments for an Iranian response, we published this evening: the alert level in Israeli embassies around the world has been raised to the maximum level”.
“A number of missions in several countries were evacuated after a situation assessment by the Shin Bet and the ministry of foreign affairs. Some of the Israeli representatives abroad were moved to alternate locations and were also asked not to attend public events at this time.”
Israel’s news portal Ynet said authorities had given instructions to strengthen security measures at Israeli embassies around the world following the airstrike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus.
“We ask you to continue to take preventive measures and pay more attention during routine operations,” a statement sent to Israeli diplomats read.
On Wednesday, the Israeli military announced that it had boosted its air defense and called up reservists as fears of a retaliation rise in Tel Aviv.
