Israel's Home Front Command has reviewed how it would alert the public in the event of renewed military operations against Iran or intelligence indicating an imminent Iranian missile attack. The discussions, led by Home Front Command chief Maj. Gen. Shai Klepper, examined different warning procedures depending on how a confrontation begins, including scenarios involving American and Israeli strikes or an Iranian attack. When Israel initiated previous operations against Iran, Home Front Command activated sirens, issued mobile phone alerts, interrupted television and radio broadcasts, and deployed military representatives to explain the situation to the public. In other confrontations, advance warnings were communicated primarily through the media without activating sirens. A military official told Maariv that the command has examined a range of responses, from comprehensive public alerts to more limited notifications depending on the circumstances. The official said Home Front Command intends to use geographic warning zones established during Operation Roaring Lion to limit shelter instructions to areas assessed to be at risk, rather than automatically placing the entire population under restrictions.

BNN Election Coverage | Powered by The Petek Israel's Central Elections Committee ratified the results of the election for the 26th Knesset today, with 15 members voting in favor, two against and 14 abstaining, according to Ynet. Committee chairman Justice Noam Sohlberg delivered the official results to President Isaac Herzog at noon. The committee said its review found no irregularities indicating that the election had been compromised or the results altered. Sohlberg said the foreign interference suspicions remain under investigation, but that their impact, even if substantiated, would be limited. He stressed that the election results must be respected. Herzog will begin government formation consultations at 5 p.m. Israel time with representatives of Bezalel Smotrich's Religious Zionism party, according to the updated schedule published by Ynet. Shas follows at 6:15 p.m., Yisrael Beiteinu at 7:30 p.m. and Moshe Feiglin's Zehut at 8:45 p.m. Zehut will meet the president separately despite running on a joint electoral list with Religious Zionism. Tomorrow, Herzog will meet United Torah Judaism, Otzma Yehudit, the Democrats and Ra'am in the morning, followed by the Joint List and B'Yachad later in the day. Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar is scheduled for 7:15 p.m., with Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud last at 8:30 p.m. Herzog is beginning with the smaller parties before hearing from the largest factions. Each delegation will recommend a candidate to form the next government. Speaking at today's handover, Herzog urged parties to show flexibility over campaign commitments to avoid another election. Under Basic Law: The Government, Herzog must assign the task within seven days of publication of the official results. The chosen lawmaker receives 28 days to form a government, with a possible extension of up to 14 days. The outgoing government continues serving until a new government takes office.
