Residents in Nahariya and the Western Galilee area were notified to expect loud explosion sounds in the coming hours due to Israeli military activity, according to a message distributed to local residents. The IDF issued the warning to preempt alarm from routine operations.
The IDF issued a warning to residents of Nahariya and the Western Galilee area Wednesday afternoon, informing them that loud explosion sounds are expected in the coming hours due to Israeli military activity. The warning, distributed via local authorities, is intended to prevent alarm from routine operations, according to N12 reporter Omer Ravid.
The IDF has previously issued similar advance warnings to residents ahead of military activity, including in the Eshkol area on July 5 ahead of operations in the Gaza Strip, and in the Upper Galilee on June 14 during operations in Lebanon, as The Zioneer has reported. The cause of the current planned explosions has not been specified, but the pattern suggests potential operations in Lebanon or the border area.
No changes to civil-defense instructions have been announced, and the warning is a standard precautionary measure.
