The military said it has not monitored any threat of 'sympathy attacks' in the country amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.
MANILA — The Armed Forces of the Philippines on Tuesday said it has not monitored any threat of "sympathy attacks" in the country amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
In early 2022, the Philippine National Police revealed the alleged plan of Hamas to "establish a foothold" in the country by inciting violence. “We continuously monitor what is happening in Israel and the Gaza Strip, so the plan that we set up for this is still there. The evacuation will depend on the decision of higher authorities—which one to undertake, whether military aircraft or commercial aircraft. There are so many options, even the use of boat, but the most efficient right now is the use of aircraft,” Aguilar noted.
Aguilar said the operation will be in line with the whole-of-government approach to ensure the safety of Filipinos in Israel and Gaza.
