The Israeli defense minister warned that the home front will be exposed to challenges in the event of a multi-front war. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced a billion dollars to Israel to develop the Iron Dome system.

The announcement comes as part of the IDF's annual drill to prepare for a possible war. The drill is called "Overwhelming Fist" and will last until the end of the month, when it will be replaced by a new drill to simulate a war on several fronts.
