Report: Netanyahu to discuss regional tensions with Biden tonight

Prime Minister Netanyahu will speak tonight (Thursday) with President Joe Biden on the rising regional tensions in the wake of the strikes in Beirut and Iran against senior Hezbollah and Hamas leaders.

Ynet reports that Prime Minister Netanyahu will provide a security update this afternoon to Opposition Leader Yair Lapid at the Kiryah in Tel Aviv regarding the possible Iranian threats to Israel following the assassinations in Beirut and Iran.

Iran and the leaders of its proxy forces throughout the Middle East are reportedly holding a meeting in the country to discuss retaliation for the assassination of Hezbollah leader Fuad Shukr and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.

Factories close to the border have been ordered to reduce the amount of hazardous chemicals they use by IDF Rear Command in preparation for an expected projectile barrage from Lebanon.
