After the IDF warned of possible increased missile fire on Israel in the coming hours, the military says it does not have “concrete intelligence” that Iran is planning a larger attack.

The military says it issued issued the warning this evening amid “heightened tensions” in the Middle East, as US President Donald Trump’s ultimatum for Iran is set to expire.

Following an assessment, the IDF decided to warn civilians of possible increased missile fire from Iran, but stopped short of instructing them to remain close to bomb shelters.

The IDF says the public will be updated if there is any change to Home Front Command guidelines.
