According to a report in the Israeli media, it is claimed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructed the army to immediately target any senior official from Iran or Hezbollah upon detection, without waiting for official approval from the chain of command.
According to claims in the Israeli media, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has given a critical instruction to the Israeli army that changes the rules of engagement.
"APPROVAL WILL NOT BE WAITED TO TARGET HIGH-PROFILE NAMES"
According to the new order, if high-ranking figures from Iran or Hezbollah are identified, field units will be able to launch an attack immediately without waiting for official approval from the command chain.
The direct transfer of authority to the field in such high-profile operations, which normally require political approval, has led to comments that tensions in the region may escalate further.
