The IDF Home Front Command instructs civilians nationwide to continue to remain close to bomb shelters until further notice, as Israel anticipates a ballistic missile attack from Iran.
The alert marks an extension of the same order that was issued nearly four hours ago, after midnight.
“Movement in public areas should be minimized, and public gatherings must be avoided. Upon receiving an alert, enter a protected space and remain there until an official update is issued,” the IDF says in its latest statement.
