The United States has reported that Iran may soon launch a ballistic missile attack on Israel. This comes after Israel's ground incursion into southern Lebanon targeting Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed militant group. In response, the U.S. is enhancing defensive measures for Israel. The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem has advised all government employees and their families to shelter in place due to the heightened threat. Israeli forces have entered Lebanon, with troop numbers in the low hundreds. This follows the recent killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in a bombing in Beirut.
