The strike is a rotating strike, meaning it alternates cities across the North. The decision was made due to escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, the announcement noted.

The emotional assistance hotline reinforced

Home Front Command also reiterated that the emotional assistance hotline has been reinforced with additional experts and can be reached at *6552 extension 5. The hotline is active starting at 7:00 a.m. every day.
