Israel put its military on high alert and the Pentagon said it is sending a guided-missile submarine to the region and speeding up the arrival of a second aircraft carrier, amid heightened concerns about a possible Iranian and Hezbollah response to the killing of militant leaders in Tehran and Beirut.
Israel set the high-alert level for its military for the first time this month after observing preparations by Iran and Hezbollah to carry out attacks, a person familiar with the matter said. Israel doesn’t know whether attacks are imminent and is proceeding cautiously, the person said.
