IDF bracing for Iranian missile fire on Israel after Israeli strike on Beirut

Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent

The IDF says it is prepared for Iranian missile fire on Israel in the coming hours following the strike on Hezbollah in Beirut earlier.

The military says IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir is conducting an assessment “with all relevant commanders” following the strike, and the current assessment is that Iran will fire missiles at Israel.

“The IDF continues to maintain readiness and alertness for a variety of defensive and offensive scenarios,” it says, adding that “the IDF will not tolerate fire toward the territory of the State of Israel.”

As of now, there are no changes to the Home Front Command’s guidelines for civilians.
