In response, Israel Defense Forces Spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari announced restrictions on civilian activities.

A report monitored on The Times of Israel by Newsone Nigeria says the guidelines prohibit educational activities and ban gatherings of over 1,000 people. Stricter restrictions have been imposed in areas that abut Gaza.

In a video message, Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu said that “in recent years, and even more so in recent weeks, Israel has been preparing for the possibility of a direct attack from Iran.

The Israeli Prime Minister warned Tehran that “whoever harms us, we will harm them. We will protect ourselves from any threat and we will do so with steadfastness and determination.”

“Together we will overcome all our enemies,” he said as he urged Israelis to listen to the Home Front Command directives and thanked Israel’s allies such as the US, France, and Great Britain for standing with the Jewish state.

“Our defense systems are deployed. We are prepared for any scenario, both in defense and attack,” Netanyahu said, as he stressed that the IDF, the state, and the public were strong.
