Deputy AG said to warn of legal difficulties in imposing nightly curfew

Deputy Attorney General Raz Nizri told ministers there may be legal difficulties in imposing a three-week nightly curfew to combat rising coronavirus cases, according to Hebrew media reports.

Nizri says it will be difficult to defend the move before the High Court of Justice without the Health Ministry backing the curfew, the reports say.

Health officials have questioned the efficacy of curfews in stemming COVID-19 infections.
