⚠️ Imminent Hezbollah attack warning: The IDF says it has identified Hezbollah preparations to carry out a major rocket barrage on Israel in the coming hours, targeting both northern and central areas. The military says it is taking various actions to thwart the planned attack and is prepared to intercept rockets with air defenses.
The IDF said it issued the public notice without intending to cause unnecessary panic. The move follows the military’s acknowledgment last week that it was a mistake not to warn the public ahead of a large Hezbollah rocket and drone attack on northern Israel, especially after assessments of the planned barrage were leaked on social media and published by international media.
❗️ IDF response posture: IDF Spokesperson BG Effie Defrin said: “The IDF will not allow any harm to the residents of Israel. We are striking Hezbollah with determination at this very moment and will continue to target anyone who threatens our security”
💥 Strike in southern Lebanon and reported casualties: Five Lebanese Armed Forces soldiers were reported wounded, including two in critical condition, following an Israeli airstrike in the Nabatieh area. Lebanese authorities later announced that one of the wounded soldiers died of his injuries.
The IDF said it is aware of the claim that several Lebanese Armed Forces soldiers were injured in an IDF strike in the Froun area of southern Lebanon, and that the incident is under review. The military emphasized that it operates against the Hezbollah terrorist organization, and not against the Lebanese Armed Forces or Lebanese civilians.
