GAZA, Feb 4 (KUNA) -- Israel has raised the alert level at its consulates
and embassies due to fears of an Iranian terror attack, Israeli radio revealed
Saturday.
The report cited confidential memo penned by the Israeli consulate in
Philadelphia.
"We predict that the threat on our sites around the world will increase on
both our guarded sites and 'soft' sites," read a memo written by the head of
security for the Consul General for the Mid-Atlantic States.
The escalation has registered while the discourse about a possible strike
on Iran intensified.
US and Israeli officials have said recently that Israeli may attack Iran to
stop its nuclear program.
Furthermore, the Israeli authorities abroad are readying for an escalation
in anti-Israeli rallies. (end)
