IDF orders residents of Gaza border communities to remain in shelters

The Israeli military orders residents of communities near the Gaza Strip to remain inside bomb shelters until further notice in light of an ongoing barrage that has been pummeling the area for nearly an hour.

Residents of the city of Beersheba and other parts of the northern Negev are told to stay within a close distance of their bomb shelter or other protected spaces.

No large gatherings are permitted in southern Israel, the army says.

“Please adhere to the Home Front Command’s instructions. These are lifesaving instructions. We will update people as necessary,” the army says.
