The “Israeli” army has imposed new restrictions on civilians from Haifa area and all the way to the north, as “Israel” braces for a wide-scale response by Hezbollah amid escalation in fighting.

Spokesperson Daniel Hagari said that educational activities and workplaces can take place only if an adequate shelter is available nearby.

Only 30 people are allowed outdoors and 300 people indoors.

Hagari said the restrictions come after the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) identified preparations by Hezbollah to launch rockets at “Israel”.

He added that over 400 rocket launchers have been struck and destroyed in Lebanon today.

According to the Hebrew Broadcasting Authority, “Israeli” intelligence points to a large missile barrage planned by Hezbollah.

Large-scale strikes are currently being conducted by “Israeli” warplanes in Lebanon, targeting several towns in the south.
