The Israeli Defense Forces are preparing for an anticipated increase in rocket fire from Lebanon ahead of the scheduled ceasefire. The ceasefire, announced by President Donald Trump, is set to begin at midnight in Beirut. IDF preparations suggest military commanders expect Hezbollah or other Lebanese factions to launch a final barrage before hostilities are paused. This readiness reflects the ongoing volatility at the border despite diplomatic efforts.
