Following recent high-profile assassinations, including Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr in Beirut, Israel is bracing for a possible Iranian response. Kurilla's visit will focus on rallying regional allies and preparing for any forthcoming threats and in coordination with the IDF in anticipation of the attack. according to an Israeli official.

Kurilla, who commands US forces in the Middle East, reached the region on Saturday night to support preparations for a possible response by Iran and Hezbollah. Although his visit was scheduled prior to the recent escalation, he is expected to leverage it to strengthen the same international and regional coalition that countered the previous Iranian attack on April 13. According to three American and Israeli officials, there is a possibility of an Iranian attack as soon as tonight.

The IDF spokesperson emphasized that while defensive measures are in place, they are not fool proof, and urged citizens to act responsibly. The spokesperson also noted that there are no changes to the Home Front Command policy, but updates will be provided if there are any adjustments in preparedness.
