Iron Dome on alert in the north for final Friday of Ramadan, Iran’s Quds Day
(Worthy News) – Israel has readied its air defenses amid fears of a security flare-up on Friday when Palestinian worshipers will throng the Al-Aqsa Mosque for Ramadan prayers and Iran will commemorate its annual “Quds Day” with anti-Israel activities.
Iron Dome missile defense batteries were on a high state of alert for potential attacks, especially in the north, with several batteries deployed and oriented toward Lebanon and Syria last week.
Security forces were concerned about possible rocket attacks and incursions by drones. Terror groups fired dozens of rockets at Israel last week from Lebanon, Syria and Gaza after fighting between police and Palestinians at the flashpoint Al-Aqsa Mosque, which sits atop the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. A drone that was launched into Israel from Syria earlier this month, and downed by the air force, was likely Iranian, a military source said. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
