"Iran will bear the consequences for choosing to escalate the situation any further," stated Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, the Israeli military spokeswoman, in a video message that was made public on Saturday.
Israel is very cautious. We are now more prepared than ever to defend Israel against more Iranian assault. Additionally, we are ready to react," Hagari continued.
Since an airstrike last week killed two Iranian generals in the Syrian capital of Damascus, Israel has been preparing for a potential Iranian attack.
Claiming responsibility for the airstrike, Iran has pledged retaliation. Israel has been silent over the strike.
Iran is able to strike Israel through a number of proxy groups it maintains in Yemen, Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon.
Long-range missiles from Iran are also capable of reaching Israel. US President Joe Biden has declared that the US is unwavering in its commitment to Israel's security, while Israeli authorities have warned to launch direct strikes on Iran should it launch an attack.
