IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari again says that there are still no changes to emergency guidelines for civilians, even as reports claim that an Iranian attack on Israel is imminent.
He says that the military is on “peak alert” for a potential attack from Iran or Hezbollah in Lebanon.
“In recent days, we are tracking our enemies and the developments in the Middle East, especially Hezbollah and Iran,” Hagari says in a press conference.
He says that the Israeli Air Force has increased its patrols over Lebanon, “to detect and intercept threats.”
“We view the statements of our enemies seriously, and are therefore prepared at the highest level of readiness for defense and attack,” Hagari says.
Hagari says that there are no changes to the Home Front Command guidelines, and if there are, “we will update immediately.”
“We will update [the public] as early as possible… but without giving our enemies an intelligence or operational advantage,” he adds.
