The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has confirmed that at least one projectile was launched from Lebanese territory into northern Israel overnight April 24-25. 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 were immediately reported.

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.
