Prime Minister Netanyahu instructed the IDF to hold fire in Lebanon but to respond to threats against Israeli forces, according to a Saturday evening news roundup. The directive came as Hezbollah fired dozens of rockets at IDF troops operating inside southern Lebanon. An IDF soldier was killed in combat in southern Lebanon overnight Friday–Saturday; his family has been notified. Separately, an Iranian announcement about closing the Strait of Hormuz was noted in the same roundup, but no further details on the Israeli security context were provided.
The Saturday roundup was compiled by the channel's editorial team. This bulletin captures the two confirmed developments: the prime minister's operational directive and the fatality of an IDF soldier in southern Lebanon. The roundup also cited U.S. President Donald Trump praising Netanyahu as a fighter. No independent corroboration of the casualty report or the exact timing of the directive beyond the summary was immediately available.
