BREAKING: Israel Announces 48-hour State Of Emergency
Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has declared a 48-hour nationwide state of emergency starting at 6:00 am (0300 GMT) Sunday, following the Israeli military’s initiation of pre-emptive strikes in Lebanon.
“The declaration on the state of emergency enables the IDF (Israeli military) to issue instructions to the citizens of Israel, including limiting gatherings and closing sites where it may be relevant,” Gallant said, in a statement issued by his office.
“I am convinced that there is a high probability of an attack against the civilian population in areas of the country where the declaration of a special situation did not apply,” he said, referring to previous local emergency measures.
“I hereby declare a special situation on the home front in other areas of the country. The situation is valid for 48 hours starting at 6:00 am,” Gallant said.
Gallant communicated the situation to US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin in a separate statement, emphasizing the importance of avoiding any further escalation in the region.
“We have conducted precise strikes in Lebanon in order to thwart an imminent threat against the citizens of Israel,” Gallant told Austin, according to the statement.
“We are closely following developments in Beirut, and we are determined to use all the means at our disposal in order to defend our citizens.”
The statement also said that the two leaders “discussed the importance of avoiding regional escalation”.
