As more than 100 Iranian drones head toward Israel, the chief of the IDF Home Front Command issues a video statement stressing that civilians should continue to follow its guidelines.
“We have been at war on several fronts for over six months,” says Maj. Gen. Rafi Milo.
“Throughout the war, we have faced and have confronted a large number of challenges in a very wide variety of threats, we learned and improved. We are prepared and strong in both defense and offense,” he says.
“In light of the situational assessment, we have decided to change the defensive guidelines. Starting tomorrow, throughout the country, there will be no educational activity. Also, gatherings of over 1,000 people are prohibited,” Milo continues.
“You are required to continue to vigilantly adhere to the guidelines, they may change based on the situational assessment. So far, your conduct and adherence to the guidelines has been exceptional, keep it up, it saves lives,” he says.
“The alert system is prepared and ready, together with the heads of the authorities and the emergency response organizations, we will overcome this challenge,” Milo adds.
