A ceremony commemorating the fallen soldiers of the IDF’s Golani Brigade that was supposed to be held this evening has been postponed amid heightened tensions on the northern front.

The IDF says it postponed the event “in accordance with an assessment of the situation,” and a new date will be set at a later time.

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and the chief of the IDF Northern Command, Maj. Gen. Ori Gordin, were scheduled to speak at the ceremony.
