The Israeli security cabinet has been warned of a potential assassination plot orchestrated by Iran and Hezbollah targeting high-ranking Israeli officials. This alarming intelligence has heightened security measures across Israel, with the Shin Bet intelligence agency on red alert. The threat comes as tensions escalate following the recent killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, which has intensified regional hostilities. Hezbollah's provocative actions, including the release of a video showcasing their military capabilities, further compound the precarious situation.
