Israeli military conducts retaliatory artillery fire in Lebanon April 25. Further violence possible.
Event
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has stated that its artillery forces targeted the source of the rocket launch from Lebanon, April 25. The IDF had confirmed that a projectile was launched from Lebanese territory into northern Israel, April 24. IDF officials claimed the projectile landed in an open area after receiving earlier reports of an explosion near Shlomi; no warning was activated and no damage or casualties have been reported.
Heightened security is likely in Israel's Northern District over the coming hours. Further projectile launches from Lebanese territory may target northern Israel over the short term. Precautionary measures, such as evacuations, are possible in affected areas.
Advice
Monitor local media and abide by security forces' directives. If incoming mortar rounds or rockets are reported, or warning sirens sound in the general vicinity, report to the nearest bomb shelter and await further instructions from authorities. If there is no shelter nearby, stay indoors, away from windows and exterior walls. If possible, move to a ground floor or basement.
