IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin says the military assesses that Iran and Hezbollah will attempt attacks on Israel during the Passover holiday tonight.

“We assess that this evening as well, the Iranian regime and Hezbollah will attempt to continue firing toward Israel. The IDF is prepared both defensively and offensively and will act against any threat,” Defrin says in a post on X.

“I ask that you continue to follow Home Front Command instructions — they save lives,” he adds.

During Passover eve on Wednesday, Iran launched a salvo of some 10 missiles at Israel.
