IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says that as of now, there are no changes to emergency instructions for civilians, as rumors swirl regarding the timing of an anticipated Iranian and Hezbollah attack on Israel.

“We are working to provide an adequate warning to prepare for any threat. But until we say otherwise, there are no changes to the Home Front Command guidelines,” Hagari says.

“We will update only when required,” he says.

“Alongside this, we are at a high level of readiness, in defense in the air, at sea, and on the ground. We are readying for any sudden threat,” Hagari continues.

He also stresses that Israel’s air defenses are “not hermetic,” and therefore the public should be vigilant.
