The Israeli army reported that the Chief of Staff conducted, during the last hour, an assessment of the situation against the backdrop of rocket incidents in Arad and Dimona in southern Israel, in the presence of senior leaders from the military establishment.
The Israeli Broadcasting Authority reported that the meeting included the head of the Operations Department, the Commander of the Air Force, the Head of the Intelligence Division, and the Commander of the Home Front Command, where they discussed the latest field developments and the repercussions of the missile attacks.
The Chief of Staff issued directives to continue investigating the circumstances of the missile fall and to draw lessons and lessons, implicitly indicating the failure to intercept some of the missiles that targeted the region.
During the meeting, a plan was also approved to carry out strikes throughout the night on various fronts, an indication of the Israeli military leadership’s tendency towards expanding the scope of combat operations.
These developments come in the wake of an Iranian missile falling in the city of Arad in southern Israel, resulting in deaths and injuries, hours after injuries and severe damage were recorded in the neighboring city of Dimona.
Israeli media indicated that the missile attacks caused fires and damaged a number of buildings, while emergency and rescue teams began relief operations at the sites of the missiles.
These events come in the context of a mutual military escalation between Iran and Israel that has been ongoing for weeks, amid growing fears that the confrontation will expand to include multiple fronts in the region.
