The Israeli security forces and the security cabinet continues to enforce a strict gag order on a security incident that took place in northern Israel.

What was reported in the past 48 hours:

1- An IED attack on a vehicle
2- An alleged arrest of Lebanese with weapons
⋯ While the arrest of Lebanese men was not confirmed by either sides, the matter could be kept behind closed doors due to its repercussions.

Israeli military reporters alleged that the IED was of different design than the ones being used in the West Bank.

No real faction claimed the attack.

This divide has prompted intel briefings for 24 ⁠hours at the “Kirya” (IDF's headquarters in Tel Aviv), and the unusual message from the Minister of Defense.
