Israel on High Alert as Iran Threatens Retaliation over Damascus Attack; Meanwhile, Home Buyers and Sellers Weigh the Pros and Cons of Cash versus Mortgages

The Israeli Army is on maximum alert due to the threat of retaliation from Iran following the attack on its consulate in Damascus. Daniel Hagar, spokesperson for the Israeli army, stated on Thursday that the troops have been deployed on all borders and are ready for a variety of scenarios to defend against any potential attacks. This is not a new situation for them as they have been in a war on multiple fronts for the last six months and are constantly observing and thwarting threats while maintaining a high level of defense and attack preparation.

Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi issued a serious threat to Israel following the attack, warning that it will not go unanswered despite heightened tension. There have been no changes in instructions for civilians, but they are advised to stay tuned for updates. Meanwhile, there are several articles discussing the benefits of cash offers versus mortgages when purchasing a home. Some articles explore the advantages of cash transactions for both buyers and sellers, as well as the process of buying a home with cash. Understanding cash sale contracts and the differences between cash offers and mortgages are also topics covered in these articles.
