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

“The IDF has reinforced its defensive components and is at a high level of readiness and alert for a variety of scenarios, both defensive and offensive,” the military says.

The military says IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir and other top commanders are “currently conducting situational assessments and closely monitoring developments.”
