The IDF Home Front Command is easing restrictions in northern Israel, allowing larger gatherings and for schools to open, as a ceasefire with Hezbollah holds.

Under the changes, schools in the northern frontier communities and the north Golan Heights will now be able to operate if adequate shelter can be reached in time.

In other areas of northern Israel, all restrictions on gatherings and schools have been lifted.

The changes, approved by Defense Minister Israel Katz, were made following a fresh assessment, the military says.
