The IDF reports that 10 missiles were fired at the western Galilee area about an hour ago (Wednesday). The missiles reportedly struck open areas, causing no casualties, according to Times of Israel.
Tensions are high on the border following the mass explosion of Hezbollah beepers throughout Lebanon and Syria yesterday.
The Lebanese Health Minister provided an update on the number of dead and wounded from the mass explosion of Hezbollah pagers yesterday (Tuesday).
According to the minister, 12 were killed, including two children. The overall number of wounded is between 2,750 and 2,800, with the following regional breakdown:
- 750 wounded in southern Lebannon
- 150 wounded in the Bekaa region
- 1,850 in the Beirut and Dahia region
He added that 300 of the injured are in serious condition. The wounded have been taken to 100 different hospitals, and some of them have been evacuated to Syria and some will be evacuated to Iran.
The IDF announced that the ceremony meant to commemorate the fallen of the Golani Brigade today is cancelled and will be held at another time, due to "operational reasons."
This announcement comes as the 98th Division is being transferred from the Gaza area to the north, as the mass beeper explosion has greatly escalated tensions with Hezbollah.
The IDF has also updated safety rules for civilians along and near the border, telling residents from the Galilee Panhandle to the western Galilee to keep crowds small and stay near shelters and safe areas.
