Residents of communities on the Lebanon border have been instructed by the military to remain close to bomb shelters until further notice, as the IDF expects increased Hezbollah rocket fire in the coming hours.
“Movement in the area should be minimized and gatherings avoided. Upon receiving an alert, you must enter a protected space,” the military says.
Hezbollah has been bombarding the Kiryat Shmona area today, with one rocket strike wounding two people, including one seriously.
