IDF Home Front extends Lebanon rocket warning times — Hezbollah pushed north of Litani; Iran steady at 10 missiles/day

·Northern Israel / Southern Lebanon

IDF Home Front Command extended warning times for Hezbollah rocket fire in 72 northern communities — from immediate to 15s or 15s to 30s — because Hezbollah has been pushed back further from the border and now launches most rockets from north of the Litani River. Key intelligence: Iran's missile attack pace has remained 'steady at around 10 missiles a day in recent days.' The Litani retreat confirms IDF ground pressure is effective.

The IDF Home Front Command announced on 27 March 2026 that it was extending warning times for Hezbollah rocket fire in 72 northern border communities. The change reflects that the IDF ground offensive has pushed Hezbollah back — 'the military has identified that Hezbollah is launching most of its rocket attacks on Israel from deeper within the country, including from areas north of the Litani River.' Warning time changes: 58 communities previously requiring immediate shelter will now have 15 seconds; 8 communities will move from immediate to 30 seconds; 6 will move from 15 to 30 seconds. Ten communities remain unchanged due to insufficient data. The IDF noted: 'In recent days, the IDF has identified an uptick in Hezbollah's rocket attacks, though most bombs have targeted troops in southern Lebanon, rather than Israel.' Key strategic data point: 'The pace of Iran's attacks on Israel has remained steady at around 10 missiles a day in recent days.' The warning time change is unrelated to Iran ballistic missiles (which take ~10 minutes to reach Israel).
