IDF: The Commanding Officer of the Home Front Command in Northern Israel: “Stay alert, stay ready, and follow the instructions – this saves lives”

The Commanding Officer of the Home Front Command, MGl Rafi Milo, visited local authorities in the north yesterday (Sunday) to strengthen the resilience of the Israeli home front.

During the visit, MG Milo emphasized the IDF’s commitment to changing the security situation and returning the residents of northern Israel to their homes.

As part of efforts to increase readiness, IDF Home Front Command units are deployed at various locations across the country to provide an immediate response when required.

Commanding Officer of the Home Front Command, MGl Rafi Milo:
“Our readiness on the home front is based on three main components: aerial defense, alerts, and your actions as civilians. The aerial defense is not impenetrable; there are gaps, as you can see here as well. Therefore, when you hear an alert, immediately enter a sheltered space. If you don’t have access to a sheltered space, choose the safest space available and enter it – this saves lives. Stay alert, stay ready, and follow the instructions.”

IDF: The IDF Destroyed a Surface-To-Air Missile Launcher Storage Facility That Hezbollah Had Positioned Approximately 1.5 Kilometers From Lebanon’s International Airport

Hezbollah’s Aerial Defense Array is equipped with surface-to-air missile batteries which are hidden within civilian infrastructure, taking cover behind Lebanon’s civilian population.

The surface-to-air missiles pose a threat to international airspace, including passenger planes, and can target any aircraft flying in Lebanese airspace.

As part of the waves of strikes in Lebanon, in a precise strike by the Israeli Air Force, fighter jets targeted infrastructure holding a surface-to-air missile launcher positioned near Beirut’s international airport. This infrastructure, like other infrastructure of Hezbollah’s Aerial Defense Array, are spread across Lebanon and pose a threat to the international aviation space.

As part of Operation “Northern Arrows”, the Israeli Air Force has struck dozens of headquarters, storage facilities, and surface-to-air missile launchers of various ranges belonging to Hezbollah.

These strikes enable the completion of hundreds of attack sorties by aircraft and fighter jets across Lebanon to remove the various threats.
The IDF will continue to strike, harm, and degrade Hezbollah’s military capabilities in Lebanon.
