Israeli embassies across the globe were placed on high alert following increasing threats of an Iranian attack on Israeli diplomats, sources confirmed to The Jerusalem Post on Thursday.
Additionally, some ambassadors have been requested not to arrive at public events over fears for their security.
Reports come amid fears of Iranian revenge strikes
These reports come following an alleged Israeli strike on Syria, which killed senior Iranian Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) member Mohammad Reza Zahedi.
According to Israeli media, diplomats serving abroad have expressed their concern that their embassies will be the target of Iranian retaliation.
Earlier, Israel denied reports that claimed it withdrew its ambassadors and evacuated its embassies in multiple locations around the world.
According to initial reports, this decision denied by Israel was made in agreement between the Foreign Ministry and Israel’s Shin Bet.
