All public events in Ashkelon called off following security consultations

All public events planned to take place today in the southern city of Ashkelon are canceled, following security consultations between the mayor and the IDF’s Home Front Command and in light of an expected military escalation following a rocket launch this morning from Gaza at central Israel.

The canceled events include all school activities and soccer match in Liga Leumit, Israel’s second league, between local team Hapoel Ashkelon and Hapoel Ramat Hasharon.
