Gatherings nationwide restricted to 5,000 people as Israel prepares for Iranian missile fire
Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent
Following a fresh assessment, the IDF Home Front Command says it is restricting gatherings nationwide to 5,000 people.
In communities on the northern border, there are no changes to the current guidelines, which restrict gatherings to 100 people outdoors and 400 indoors.
Schools are still permitted to operate across the country.
The change in the guidelines comes following assessments in the IDF that Iran will launch missiles at Israel following an airstrike on Hezbollah in Beirut.
