Israel's national emergency and ambulance service, Magen David Adom (MDA), has raised its alert level to 'peak alertness' nationwide. This decision follows a security assessment by MDA Director General Eli Bin amid concerns of a potential large-scale attack by Hezbollah targeting the northern and central regions of the country. The alert status was elevated after an unconfirmed tip-off from American intelligence.
