"Israel’s Home Front Command has moved search and rescue forces to Tel Aviv and other cities in preparation for potential Iranian and Hezbollah attacks, the Israel Defense Forces said on Tuesday.

"The Ram Battalion (668) of the IDF’s Search and Rescue Brigade (60th) has repositioned itself in Tel Aviv, the economic and cultural hub of Israel along the central Mediterranean coastline.

"The unit has moved near Menora Mivtachim Arena in the Yad Eliyahu neighborhood, where the Home Front Command’s rescue vehicles and trailers are stationed.

"Both Tehran and its Lebanese terror proxy have threatened to target military sites in the Tel Aviv area. The Ram Battalion would respond to any building collapses or other destruction.

"According to the IDF, rapid rescue teams have also been deployed to Haifa, the Haifa bay area and several cities in the south and center of the country.

"The deployment followed a recent situational assessment held by the Home Front Command.

"It was also decided to position a permanent battalion in the Red Sea resort town of Eilat, which has been targeted multiple times by Iran’s Yemeni terror proxy, the Houthis.
