❗️US military bases in Europe have been put on high alert due to the threat of a terrorist attack, probably the highest "in at least 10 years," CNN reports

"The bases, including the US Army garrison in Stuttgart, Germany, where the US European Command is headquartered, raised their alert level to Force Protection Condition 'Charlie'," the news agency explained.

According to the US Army, such a status “applies when an incident occurs or intelligence is received indicating some form of terrorist action or targeting against personnel or facilities is likely.”

CNN quoted one US official who said that they haven’t seen this threat level “in at least 10 years,” adding that it usually means the military has received an “active-reliable threat.”

🇮🇱🤝🇺🇸👤🛰 — Israel eyes use of Musk's Starlink in event of war with Hezbollah


➡️ The Ministries of Finance and Communications are exploring the use of Elon Musk's satellite communications company, Starlink, to maintain internet connectivity in Israel during potential disruptions or power outages caused by an all-out war in the north.

➡️ Last February, Minister of Communications Shlomo Karhi signed an operating license for Starlink services in Israel. At the same time, Israel permitted the operation of the service in the Gaza Strip for entities providing humanitarian aid, including operating a field hospital established in Rafah by the United Arab Emirates.

➡️ With the signing of Starlink's operating license in Israel, the Ministry of Communications stated that the service would focus on areas close to the fighting, aiming to provide stable communication to local authorities, emergency units, and government bodies in cases of wired and cellular communication malfunctions.

➡️ According to scenarios by the National Emergency Management Authority (NEMA) and electricity company Noga, damage by Hezbollah to sensitive electricity production and transmission facilities could lead to blackouts in large areas of the country, especially in the northern region. In the event of a power outage lasting more than two hours, the relay stations of the cellular network may also collapse.
