IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari calls on Israelis not to publish troop movements, in light of growing indications, reports, claims, and rumors of an imminent Israeli ground incursion into southern Lebanon.
“In recent hours there have been many reports and rumors about IDF activity on the Lebanese border. We ask that no reports be circulated about the activities of the forces,” Hagari says on X, citing the need to protect the troops.
“Stick to the official reports only and do not spread irresponsible rumors,” he adds.
Some Israeli politicians have posted unsubtle hints on social media about the looming ground operation.
