IDF Home Front Command adjusts restrictions in north as fighting with Hezbollah continues

The IDF Home Front Command announces adjustments to its wartime guidelines in northern Israel as the fighting with Hezbollah continues.

In communities on the Lebanon border, all educational activities will be prohibited, and gatherings will be limited to 50 people outdoors and 100 people indoors.

In the Upper Galilee, educational activities will be permitted only inside bomb shelters, and gatherings are limited to 50 people outdoors and 200 indoors.

In the Haifa Bay area, schools will now be able to open if an adequate bomb shelter can be reached in time amid an attack. Gatherings of 100 people outdoors and 400 indoors are also permitted in the Haifa Bay area.

Previously, in all three areas, educational activities were only permitted inside bomb shelters, and gatherings were limited to 50 people outdoors and 200 indoors.

In the rest of the country, no changes are made to the guidelines, the military says.

A full list of guidelines per locale can be found on the Home Front Command’s website.
