As tensions continue to rise with Iran and the region remains on edge following a massive U.S. military buildup near Iranian territory, the IDF moved to reassure the Israeli public ahead of Shabbos.

IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said there is currently no change to Home Front Command guidelines.

“This Shabbos as well, like the previous ones, I wish to emphasize and reassure: We are on high alert and continuously monitoring developments. There is no change to the guidelines. If there is any change, we will update accordingly,” Defrin said in a post on X.

Israeli defense officials say the military remains in a heightened state of readiness, while closely tracking developments across the region amid growing international concern over possible escalation with Iran.
