Buenos Aires: Police strengthened Israeli targets amid rising tensions in the Middle East.

Amid rising international tensions, Buenos Aires City Police activated a special security operation in at least 19 strategic locations linked to Israeli interests in Buenos Aires, fearing retaliation for the recent U.S. attack on nuclear facilities in Iran .

The deployment, coordinated with the Rapid Intervention Division (DIR) , includes intensive patrols, fixed checkpoints and the presence of armed personnel in the vicinity of sites considered highly sensitive, including the Israeli embassy , ​​the ambassador's residence , the military attaché and the United States diplomatic headquarters .

In an official statement, the Buenos Aires Ministry of Security stated that one of the main targets is Israeli educational institutions , from kindergartens to high schools, "with the goal of ensuring the safety of children, teachers, and staff," said spokespersons for the operation.

One of the places with the greatest security reinforcement is the headquarters of the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association (AMIA) , located in the Once neighborhood, the target of the 1994 terrorist attack that left 85 dead and more than 300 injured , an event still seared into the country's collective memory.

According to NA, preventive measures include constant patrols, reinforced surveillance cameras , and the installation of security cordons at key entrances. In addition, urban control posts were deployed in areas with high pedestrian traffic.

Buenos Aires authorities stated that the operation will continue as long as the international risk level remains high . "Monitoring is constant and dynamic. Every alert is handled with the highest priority," the police stated.

The measure also responds to international alerts shared by intelligence agencies, which warned of the possibility of isolated actions or acts of vandalism in countries allied with Israel or in nations with significant Jewish communities, such as Argentina.
