Despite government order, most arrivals to Israel not isolating in hotels

Despite a government order requiring all Israelis who enter the country to isolate in state-run quarantine hotels, only a fraction are complying, according to Hebrew media reports.

According to Army Radio, of the 2,100 people who landed at Ben Gurion Airport in the past day, only 600 went to the COVID hotels.
