Jerusalem (AFP) Feb 22, 2011 Israel will respond immediately to any "provocation" by two Iranian warships in the Mediterranean and has put its navy forces on high alert, a senior Israeli source told AFP on Tuesday. Speaking shortly after two Iranian warships entered the southeastern Mediterranean after travelling through the Suez Canal, the source said the Israeli navy had heightened its alert and was closely monitoring the vessels.

He said discussions had been held, and the Israeli forces already had their orders on how to respond.
