The IDF Home Front Command says it currently does not plan to change its wartime guidelines, as Iran’s ballistic missile attacks continue at a steady pace.
The guidelines prevent large gatherings and educational activities in most areas of the country.
Iran’s missile fire on Israel has slowed to around 10-15 missiles a day in the past two weeks, down from around 90 on the first day of the war.
Iran has not been carrying out large missile barrages, with each attack composed of a small number of missiles — usually between one and three.
Iranian missile attacks have killed 16 people in Israel, along with four Palestinians in the West Bank. Two Israeli civilians have also been killed by Hezbollah rockets, and an Israeli civilian was mistakenly killed in the north by Israeli artillery shelling. According to the Home Front Command, 5,500 Israelis have been displaced due to damage caused to their homes by the attacks.
We can't do this work alone.
The war with Iran has been draining for all of us in Israel. But when I heard about a high casualty incident – ballistic missile impacts in Arad and Dimona that left nearly 200 people wounded – I drank a cup of coffee, packed a bag, and headed south.
There, I spoke with Shilgit, the head of an after-school program for underprivileged youth. Standing outside her destroyed center, Shilgit said it was a miracle that no children were hurt and spoke about the community coming together in the hours since.
As a Times of Israel reporter, I’m committed to telling stories of resilience like Shilgit’s. But my colleagues and I can't do this alone. If you value work like this, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to keep real human reporting like this going.
