Avichay Adraee, spokesperson for the Israeli army, wrote on X:
“Over the past hours, increased preparations have been detected within Hezbollah to launch rocket barrages toward Israeli territory in the coming hours, and the Israeli army is working to thwart Hezbollah’s activities.
Air defense systems and army forces deployed along the border remain on high alert and in full readiness on both the offensive and defensive levels.
The Israeli army calls on the public to remain vigilant and to follow Home Front Command instructions. The army will not allow harm to Israeli citizens and will respond forcefully to any threat against the State of Israel.”
