Chief of Staff After Drone Strike: "Prepared with Operational Plans for the North"

Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi recently completed a situational assessment for the northern sector with members of the General Staff Forum. In his remarks, he addressed the incident that occurred this morning (Monday) in which a Hezbollah drone struck a building in Nahariya. "Hezbollah's strike on a residential building in Nahariya this morning is a severe incident, as is the firing at civilians in the north," Halevi said. "The IDF is operating with strength in the north, and is in high readiness with operational plans prepared, ready for any mission required."

As reported this morning, a direct hit was recorded on an unoccupied high-rise building in Nahariya, causing damage to the building but no reported injuries. Police officers and bomb squad members have isolated the impact area and are searching for additional remnants to remove further risk to the public.
