Hebrew Channel 12: The military spokesman made an unusual statement:
Regarding various reports in the Israeli and international media in the last twenty-four hours, attributing various statements to the Chief of Staff or to senior members of the army, we would like to clarify: the army is focused on its tasks, and is on high alert on every front, in view of various warnings and considering the sensitivity of the time. The operational activity and considerations taken in the Israeli army are exclusively security, professional, objective and official considerations, and any other discourse is misleading and irrelevant.
