Israeli security forces, including the IDF, are reportedly prepared for rapid transition to combat if necessary, but no official announcement has been made about launching an attack.
Earlier on the same day, Ramat Gan Mayor Carmel Shama-Hacohen ordered all city bomb shelters to open and urged building committees to refresh communal shelters, citing increased risk of Iranian missile fire by the weekend.

Other city leaders, such as Herzliya Mayor Yariv Fisher, also confirmed that shelters remain open and are being maintained regularly. The Home Front Command has not changed its public guidance despite the heightened state of readiness.
