Home Front Command precautions minimal as lull ends
Despite the ceasefire deadline at midnight and the possible resumption of hostilities, the Home Front Command issues safety precautions for tonight and tomorrow that are identical to those presented on August 14, during the five-day truce.
Camps, schools, and daycare centers within 7 km of the border are allowed to open, provided they are within distance of a shelter. Residents in areas between 7 km to 40 km are asked to rush to shelter if sirens sound. There are no restrictions in other areas of the country.
