[H1]Israel beefs up air defenses, calls up troops as Iran payback for Syria strike looms[/H1]
[H2]Speculation suggests Iran could attack Israel from its own territory rather than through proxies, sparking wider hostilities; Gallant says IDF prepared for every scenario[/H2]

The IDF said on Wednesday that it bolstered its air defense array and had called up reservists, as the country girded for a potential Iranian response to the strike in Syria earlier this week, in which several high-ranking Iranian military officials were killed.

Both Iran and its proxy Hezbollah have vowed that Israel will not go unpunished for the Monday attack on a consular building next to Iran's embassy in Damascus, which killed Mohammad Reza Zahedi, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' most senior official in Syria, along with his deputy, five other IRGC officers, and at least one member of the Hezbollah terror group.

A Channel 12 news report reflecting Israeli speculation on a possible reprisal pointed to the possibility that Iran could respond by directly launching missiles from its own territory rather than via any of its proxy groups, which includes militias in Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen.


While Israel could suffice with letting the round of hostilities fizzle out, in the event that Iran responds via a proxy, such as a Hezbollah rocket barrage, an attack from Iranian territory would likely push the Israeli Defense Forces to launch a significant reprisal, risking sending tensions snowballing further.

"I won't be surprised if Iran fires directly at Israel," former Military Intelligence head Amos Yadlin told the network, explaining that a January missile strike carried out by Iran on neighboring Pakistan set a precedent for such action.

Israeli authorities are disrupting the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) in occupied territories, hoping to weaken "enemy capabilities" ahead of an anticipated Iranian response to the Israeli aggression on the Iranian Consulate in Damascus, Syria.
Several Israeli media outlets reported on the effects of disruptions in what is more commonly known as GPS, which have caused devices in occupied Palestine to shift their geolocations to Lebanon's capital, Beirut.
