Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir has ordered the IDF to enter heightened alert following the collapse of talks between the U.S. and Iran, and to prepare for the possibility of a return to military confrontation in the near term. According to military sources, the IDF has entered a structured combat protocol, similar to the format implemented before previous operations — 'With Lionheart' and 'Lion's Roar' — while accelerating all planning and execution processes. As part of the protocol, instructions have been issued to maintain high readiness across all systems, alongside shortening response times and closing operational gaps.
