The cabinet approves a “special situation” on Israel’s home front, according to multiple media reports.
A “special situation” is a legal term used in times of emergency, granting authorities greater jurisdiction over the civilian population in order to streamline efforts to safeguard the population. It is valid for 48 hours unless extended by cabinet ministers.
No specific changes in IDF Home Front Command instructions were announced.
The vote was conducted by phone according to Channel 12.
In central and southern Israel, school and work is scheduled to take place as normal.
