The Eilat municipality stated it is acting in coordination with the IDF and Home Front Command, saying the military is preparing for the possibility of fire toward Israeli territory in the coming hours and maintaining readiness for various scenarios in defense and offense.
The Eilat municipality issued a statement at 17:57 Jerusalem saying the IDF and Home Front Command are preparing for possible fire toward Israeli territory in the coming hours. The military is maintaining alertness for a range of defensive and offensive scenarios, the statement said. The announcement follows President Donald Trump's expression of frustration over the Israeli Air Force strike in Beirut earlier today. As The Zioneer reported this evening, Trump urged Israel not to conduct further strikes in Lebanon and said a prospective deal would encompass the entire region, including Lebanon. The Eilat security directive signals heightened readiness on Israel's southern front as the northern front faces diplomatic pressure.
