IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi held an assessment and approved plans for “the different fronts,” the military says in a terse statement, as the country anticipates an Iranian and Hezbollah attack.

“The chief of staff emphasized the continuation of high readiness and assessment efforts for attack and defense,” the military says.

The meeting was attended by the IDF deputy chief of staff, heads of the Intelligence and Operations directorates, head of the Northern Command, head of the Air Force, head of the Home Front Command, and other top officers.
