Israel asks citizens to remain near safe areas as precaution against expected Hezbollah response.

The Israeli military has issued a warning to residents in northern communities to be cautious and stay close to shelters. This comes after the recent explosions of thousands of pagers and radios used by Hezbollah members across Lebanon. The Health Minister of Lebanon has reported numerous fatalities and injuries as a result of these blasts. While Israel has not taken responsibility for the explosions, Hezbollah has accused them and promised to retaliate.

To ensure the safety of its citizens, the Home Front Command has instructed residents in the Upper Galilee and Golan Heights to limit their movements, avoid large gatherings, and monitor the entrances to their communities. They have also advised people to stay close to shelters, in case of any potential attacks. According to Xinhua news agency, these restrictions were put in place after a large-scale attack on Lebanon by Israeli warplanes.

After several hours of intense strikes, the Israeli military announced that their operation was complete. They claim to have successfully targeted 100 rocket launchers and 1,000 barrels. However, they also stated that they will continue to take action against Hezbollah's infrastructure and capabilities.

In response to the Israeli attacks, Lebanese military sources reported that approximately 60 airstrikes were launched on Hezbollah strongholds in southern and eastern Lebanon. This led to the launching of 50 Katyusha rockets into northern Israel. This escalation in violence follows ongoing clashes that began in 2023, when Hezbollah began launching rockets at Israel in solidarity with Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Israel responded with artillery fire and airstrikes, causing numerous casualties and displacing thousands on both sides.
