The IDF Home Front Command issues new restrictions on civilians in northern and central Israel, including Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, the Sharon region, the Carmel area, Wadi Ara, and the northern West Bank, after Hezbollah fired rockets at the center of the country this morning, and ahead of the upcoming Jewish New Year holiday.
Educational activities and workplaces are permitted to be open only if an adequate shelter is nearby and can be reached in time, according to an IDF statement.
There are also restrictions on gatherings: up to 30 people outdoors and 300 people indoors.
Beaches will be closed, the IDF said, amid the escalation in fighting with Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The new guidelines are valid until Saturday, after the New Year holiday.
Channel 12 News reports that there are no changes to instructions at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion International Airport, and that Israel’s airspace is open without restrictions.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
