The Israeli army has announced significant restrictions on public gatherings following the assassination of Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, warning of challenging times ahead. Spokesman Daniel Hagari stated that the nation is on high alert for both defense and potential attacks, urging the public to follow government instructions closely. As of now, gatherings of more than 1,000 people are banned in central Israel, a precautionary measure taken due to fears of retaliation from Hezbollah. Hagari emphasized the ongoing challenges, including the return of Israeli prisoners and the displacement of residents due to the conflict that escalated on October 7, 2023.
The assassination of Nasrallah, confirmed by Hezbollah, occurred during an airstrike in Beirut conducted by Israeli F-35 fighter jets. This event marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing conflict, which has already led to significant casualties, with the Lebanese Ministry of Health reporting over 1,640 deaths and more than 8,400 injuries since the onset of hostilities. Meanwhile, Israel continues to face missile attacks from Hezbollah, with air raid sirens sounding across the country as the situation remains volatile.
