*BREAKING:* Israel is on heightened alert over concerns that Iran could launch an offensive action in response to the IDF’s planned destruction tonight of underground tunnels beneath Lebanon’s Ali Taher Ridge. Israeli officials said heightened readiness will remain in place over the Yom Tov period. The IDF told residents of northern Israel that it will carry out a series of strikes and controlled explosions along the Lebanon front in the coming hours, with blasts expected to be heard across the Upper Galilee, Ramim Ridge, Hula Valley and Golan. There is no change to Home Front Command instructions.
