🚨 Highest Level of Alert in the South

As of this morning, the IDF has officially raised the alert level in the Southern Command and postponed leave for combat soldiers and operational units. Additional forces have been deployed to the region as Israel prepares for a range of possible scenarios following Hamas’s latest escalation.

This heightened state of readiness comes after Hamas announced an indefinite suspension of the hostage release deal, falsely claiming Israeli violations. In response, Defense Minister Yisrael Katz has placed the IDF on its highest level of alert, vowing that Israel “will not return to the reality of October 7.”

This situation is developing rapidly, and the possibility of intensified military action is growing. At Zaka Tel-Aviv, we are preparing for all potential outcomes—whether that means responding to attacks, assisting in rescue efforts, or ensuring the dignified handling of those who make the ultimate sacrifice.

With tensions escalating and security concerns mounting, we must be ready for whatever comes next.

Your support ensures we can continue our critical mission, standing alongside Israel’s defenders and civilians in their time of need.
