An IDF force opened fire (it is unclear if in the air) to remove Hezbollah operatives from motorcycles approaching the border fence near Metula.
Against the background of the severe terrorist attack, the situation was assessed by the Upper Galilee Regional Council. As of now, there is no change in the guidelines for residents, but in light of the severity of the incidents and their ramifications, preparations are being made for the possibility of the events spilling over into the northern region of the State of Israel.
At this stage, the kibbutzim were instructed to close the gates and man them. As a result, huge traffic jams have been created for vehicles seeking to leave the northern region for fear of expanding the attack on Israel.
The alert classes in the northern kibbutzim have been held and are ready for a variety of events. Council members are in constant contact with security officials and kibbutz managements.
The Upper Galilee Regional Council said: "We call on the residents of the kibbutzim to continue to follow the reports in the official media channels and those of the council."
