The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem issued a security alert for Americans in Israel amid reports that Iran is planning to attack Israel.

Several anonymous U.S. officials told CBS News, CNN, and other outlets this week that Iran may directly target Israel in an attack as soon as Friday in retaliation for an Israeli attack inside Syria that left seven Iranian commanders dead several weeks ago. Tehran has publicly stated it would launch a retaliatory attack over the Israeli strikes.
