After the Israeli assassination of Fouad Shukr, Hezbollah's number two, for which Israel has claimed responsibility, and the kiliing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, which Israel has yet to comment on, the IDF and the Home Front Command are preparing for a possible response from Hezbollah, Hamas, or other Iranian-affiliated groups in the Middle East.

However, at this moment, there are no changes in guidelines for civilians or the Home Front Command's policies.

An IDF spokesperson stated: "There are no changes in the defense policy for the home front. At this time, the IDF is conducting a situational assessment. Should there be any change, we will update the public immediately through the IDF and Home Front Command platforms. It is important to stay informed and follow the Home Front Command's instructions."

Meanwhile, the airspace north of the Hadera line has been closed since 2:30 AM for 24 hours. This announcement was made to pilots and aircraft operators at 11:30 PM.
