Israel has paused leave for combat units and increased air defense readiness due to possible missile or drone attacks from Iran following the airstrike killing senior Revolutionary Guard commanders in Syria. Iran has vowed retaliation after an airstrike in Damascus, which killed 11, including a senior commander. Israel’s military may reopen shelters in Tel Aviv as a precaution. Efforts to jam GPS signals to prevent guided missile attacks have been intensified, potentially impacting navigation and daily life. There are concerns Iran may respond on Friday, Jerusalem Day, after repatriating the bodies of IRGC members killed in the strike.
