British and foreign diplomats in Israel urged to stock up on essentials amid threat of Iranian attack

British and other foreign diplomats in Israel have been advised to stock up on essential items in anticipation of an Iranian attack.

The guidance, which has been issued to families in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, also recommends carrying radios when out and about, in case phone networks are disrupted.

Israel is currently on alert for an Iranian retaliation following a suspected Israeli airstrike on Iran's embassy in Syria earlier this month. 

German airline Lufthansa has also suspended flights to the Iranian capital, Tehran.
