As Israel is carrying out strikes in Iran, the IDF Home Front Command announces immediate changes to its guidelines, prohibiting all educational activities, gatherings, and workplaces, with the exception of essential sectors. “The public is required to follow the guidelines published on the official Home Front Command channel,” the army says.

The Home Front Command’s Tzvika Tessler says that, in the coming few hours, we could experience “a significant attack from the east.”

These could be “heavy missiles” that could reach anywhere in the country, he says on Channel 12 news. “We will give far-reaching warnings,” he says.
