He says the military is on "high alert" for a potential attack from Iran or Hezbollah in Lebanon.

"In recent days, we have been monitoring our enemies and developments in the Middle East, especially Hezbollah and Iran," Haghari said at a press conference.

He says that the Israeli Air Force has stepped up patrols over Lebanon "to detect and intercept threats.

"We take the statements of our enemies seriously and are therefore prepared at the highest level of readiness for defense and offense," Hagari said.
