According to reports by Al Jazeera English, the incident occurred moments after the president addressed journalists on the country’s security situation. Emergency sirens reportedly sounded shortly after, prompting Herzog and his security team to quickly move to a protected location.
In his remarks, Herzog stated that Israel would not revert to previous ceasefire conditions, stressing that the current security realities require a more assertive and strategic approach. He also emphasized the need for what he described as “strategic depth” within neighboring Lebanon, suggesting the possibility of expanded military operations.
The development comes amid escalating cross-border hostilities between Israeli forces and armed groups operating in southern Lebanon, with frequent exchanges of fire in recent weeks.
Security analysts say the incident underscores the growing intensity of the conflict and raises concerns over the safety of civilians and officials in northern Israeli communities, as attacks become more frequent and far-reaching.
