U.S. Sends Top General to Israel Amid Reports of Iranian Retaliation for Israel's Damascus Attack
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Biden administration sent top military commander General Michael
Kurilla to Israel and has restricted travel for its embassy staff in
Israel, as fears mount over a possible Iranian attack. The Wall Street
Journal reported Thursday an attack in Israel could come by Saturday,
though another unnamed source says Tehran has not made any final
decisions. Iranian leadership vowed to retaliate following last week's
Israeli attack on a diplomatic site in Damascus, Syria, which killed top
Iranian military officials, including Mohammad Reza Zahedi, a senior
commander in the al-Quds Force.
