In addition, several rockets were identified crossing from Lebanese territory into the Ramot Naftali area; no injuries were reported. The IDF returned fire to the source of the launches in various areas in southern Lebanon.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah claimed responsibility for firing dozens of rockets towards Galilee, along with targeting Upper Galilee at 4:07 PM and a later attack at 5:00 PM. Throughout the morning, the Shiite terrorist organization claimed responsibility for six shooting incidents.
Regarding preparations for potential Iranian retaliation, IDF Spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari stated, "In the past day, the IDF conducted situation assessments and approved plans following reports and statements regarding a potential Iranian attack."
"We have been at war for the past six months, facing various threats. Our defense is prepared and capable of addressing each threat individually. We are also prepared for an attack with diverse capabilities and will act to protect the citizens of Israel."

According to Hagari, "At this stage, there are no changes in the Home Front Command instructions. However, the coming days necessitate heightened alertness and readiness. We will provide continuous updates. We have one of the best defense capabilities globally, but they are not impervious. Follow the Home Front Command instructions. We will update immediately on any changes. Iran's conduct exacerbates the situation in the Middle East and undermines security stability. We will know how to act wherever necessary."
