The IDF Home Front Command gives new instructions to civilians in light of the 5-day ceasefire extension, allowing large gatherings across the entire country, Ynet reports. At the same time, it will leave public shelters open in communities up to 40 kilometers from the Gaza border.

These new instructions are valid until Monday at 6 p.m., six hours before the ceasefire is slated to end.
