The IDF Home Front Command says it is easing restrictions in several areas in northern Israel, following a fresh assessment.

The changes come despite repeated Hezbollah rocket and drone attacks.

As part of the changes, the Home Front Command has adjusted the activity scale in the southern Golan Heights (not including Katzrin and Kidmat Tsvi) and the central Galilee, from “partial activity” to “full activity.”

The changes there mean that gatherings are permitted up to 2,000 people.

There are no changes to other areas in the country.
