The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has instructed the Israel Police to mobilize all border police units and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to mobilize additional forces to face terrorist attacks.
The IDF has been dealing with a convergence of frontiers in the region, according to Lt. Col. Richard Hecht, an international spokesperson for the IDF.
Israel blamed Hamas, the militant group that controls Gaza, for the rocket launches from Lebanon. In response, Israel launched airstrikes near the southern coastal city of Tyre.

However, it is unclear which warring party Qatari officials have been communicating with since Qatar does not have official diplomatic relations with Israel.
