"In recent hours, the IDF has detected expanded preparations by the Hezbollah terrorist organization to launch rocket barrages toward the State of Israel in the coming hours," the IDF warned.

"The IDF is operating in order to thwart Hezbollah’s activities. The aerial defense array and IDF soldiers deployed along the border are alert and prepared, both in defense and in offense. The public is requested to follow the Home Front Command’s defensive guidelines," the military stated.

Several days ago, the IDF had apologized for not issuing a warning to the public after receiving similar intelligence.
