Category: WARS & RUMORS OF WARS

Summary:
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has warned of a growing terrorist threat in the West Bank due to the presence of Iranian-supplied weapons among Palestinian militants, raising concerns over a possible attack similar to the October 7, 2023 Hamas assault.

The IDF conducted a large-scale military exercise called "Lion’s Roar" to improve operational readiness and coordination against threats in the region. Officials emphasize the risk of both large-scale and localized lethal attacks on Israeli communities and continue efforts to dismantle terrorist cells and intercept weapon smuggling.
