Steitment by IDF Spokesperson RAdm. Daniel Hagari-October 1, 2024

Dear civilians,

A short while ago, the Home Front Command activated life-saving instructions throughout central Israel, instructing people to stay near protected spaces, this is following missile fire from Lebanon. One missile from Lebanon was intercepted.

This activated mobile alerts, which demonstrates how the mobile alerts are working, and you should remain near a protected space.

Regarding our readiness concerning Iran, we are closely monitoring the threat.

I urge the public to follow the Home Front Command’s instructions from this moment onwards.
Missile fire from Iran could potentially be wide scale.

Adhering to the Home Front Command's instructions will save lives.

In areas where life-saving instructions have been activated, such as in Gush Dan, you are required to stay near protected spaces from this moment.

If you hear a siren, you must immediately enter a protected space and remain there until further notice.

I repeat – upon hearing a siren, you are required to enter the protected space and remain there until further notice.

The defense is not hermetic. I repeat – the defense is not hermetic. You must follow the Home Front Command's instructions and act with composure and responsibility.

It is important for you to maintain composure and act responsibly.

These instructions are life-saving for you and your families.

I will continue to update here on all developments all night, every moment at every development.
