The IDF Home Front Command is easing some restrictions in northern Israel, as ground operations against Hezbollah continue.

Under the latest guidelines, residents in northern frontier towns, the Golan Heights, and Galilee, will be able to hold gatherings of up to 50 people outdoors, instead of 10, and 250 indoors, instead of 150.

In the Haifa Bay area, Jezreel Valley, Carmel, and Wadi Ara, gatherings of up to 60 people outdoors will be permitted, instead of 30.

Other restrictions, including in other areas of the country, remain unchanged.
