Fear of Iran's retaliation is growing within the Israeli occupation, with Israeli media stating that Iran's threat to respond paralyzes "Israel" with fear.

Israeli media reported on Friday that Iran's threat to retaliate for the assassination of Quds Force leaders in the attack that targeted its consulate in Syria has left "Israel" paralyzed with fear.

Israeli media also indicated that the Israeli occupation forces have raised their alert status, noting that "regular soldiers and reservists from certain units who planned to travel received notice of travel cancellation [procedurally, traveling abroad requires approval from the army]."

This development comes in the wake of fears of targeting Israeli occupation forces abroad. Israeli media in recent days has discussed the increasing fear within the Israeli occupation of Iran's response.

Due to its fear of retaliation, the occupation closed 28 of its "representations" worldwide, according to Israeli media reports.

Channel 13 had previously reported days ago that the Israeli occupation forces announced the mobilization of reserves in the air defense formation due to the state of alert and readiness for fear of an Iranian response.

The Israeli channel also indicated, for the first time, a fear of direct fire from Iran towards "Israel," quoting security sources diagnosing Iran as "more determined to respond than ever before."

Iran says would not seek retaliation had UN condemned 'Israel'

Iran's Permanent Mission to the United Nations underlined Thursday the necessity of Tehran responding to the Israeli airstrike on its consulate in Damascus, which martyred seven Iranian military advisors, including Brigadier General martyr Mohammad Reza Zahedi, the leader of the IRGC's Quds Force in Syria and Lebanon.

Iran's diplomats stressed that if it were not for the impunity enjoyed by the Israeli occupation in the UN Security Council, and if the perpetrators of the attack on Iran's consulate in Syria were brought to justice, the Islamic Republic would not have found it necessary to retaliate against the Israeli occupation.

The leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran Sayyed Ali Khamenei led the Eid prayer to commemorate the end of the holy month of Ramadan, extending prayers for Gaza and highlighting how the occupying entity has not stopped massacring women and children in Gaza, but only escalated the magnitude of its warmongering.

“In this year's events, Western governments exposed the evil nature of Western civilizations. During the last six months in Gaza, the Western governments themselves put on display this evil nature before the eyes of the world," the leader said, adding that they resorted to killing innocent people in Palestine because they could not catch up to the Resistance's power.

He condemned the piercing silence of the pretenders who claim to champion human rights but still remained silent as "Israel" is carrying out its genocide in Gaza, asking, "Where are those whose cacophonous voice on human rights deafen the ears of the world? Are these not human beings? Don’t they have any rights?"

He held Western governments responsible for the extension and the effectuation of the genocide in Gaza, affirming that they greenlit "Israel's" onslaught instead of stopping it.

While many spoke against the occupation's military conduct, the leader said their actions, particularly those of the "arrogant and cruel governments of the US and UK," contributed to the expedition of the war.
