JERUSALEM – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has instructed his cabinet ministers to avoid making public comments about the nation’s security situation amid heightened tensions with Iran and Hezbollah, as reported by Kan radio.

According to Burkina Information Agency, Netanyahu has labeled the forthcoming days as critical and warned that public discussions on security matters could have severe consequences. This directive comes as regional tensions escalate following the assassination of Hamas’s political bureau chief, Ismaïl Haniyeh, in Tehran, and a senior Hezbollah commander, Fouad Chokr, in Beirut. Both Iran and Hezbollah have accused Israel of these actions and have vowed retaliation.
