IDF warns Hezbollah planning major rocket fire at central and northern Israel in coming hours
The IDF issued an intelligence warning that Hezbollah is planning a major rocket fire targeting central and northern Israel in the coming hours. The warning comes as IDF ground forces push deeper into southern Lebanon on Day 18, and as Iran fires cluster munitions at central Israel in apparent retaliation for the Larijani killing claim.
