IDF says Hezbollah plans major rocket fire in coming hours

The IDF says it has identified preparations by Hezbollah to carry out major rocket fire on Israel in the coming hours.

According to the military’s indications, the terror group is planning to fire a large number of rockets at both northern and central Israel.

The IDF says it is carrying out various actions in an attempt to thwart the planned barrage from Lebanon, and is prepared to intercept the rockets with air defenses.

The military says it does not want to cause unnecessary panic among the public, and, therefore, issued the public notice.

Last week, the IDF acknowledged that it was a mistake not to update the public ahead of a large Hezbollah rocket and drone attack on northern Israel, especially once Israel’s assessments of the planned barrage were leaked on social media and published by international media.
