In its first statement since the deadly pager explosions, the Israeli military has confirmed that there are no changes in its advice to civilians. The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) spokesperson emphasized that the Home Front Command defensive guidelines remain unchanged at this time. The public is urged to stay alert and vigilant, with any updates to policy to be communicated promptly.

Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi conducted a situational assessment on Tuesday evening, focusing on readiness in both offense and defense across all arenas. This highlights the military's commitment to ensuring preparedness in the face of evolving threats.

Hezbollah and the Lebanese government have accused Israel of being responsible for the attack that resulted in the deaths of at least nine people and left 2,800 individuals injured. The incident targeted pagers held by members of Hezbollah, as reported by the country's health minister.

Despite these allegations, the Israeli military has refrained from commenting on the specifics of the incident. The focus remains on maintaining security measures and following established defensive protocols to safeguard civilians and national interests.
