After intensive Israel airstrikes in southern Lebanon, the IDF publishes a list of guidelines for civilians in several communities and cities in northern Israel, telling them to remain close to bomb shelters.

The guidelines apply to civilians in the Merom HaGalil Regional Council, Upper Galilee Regional Council, Mevo’ot HaHermon Regional Council, Yesud HaMa’ala, Hatzor, Rosh Pina, Safed, Metula, and towns in the Golan Heights from Katzrin and northward.

The IDF calls on civilians in those areas to reduce movement outside of homes, avoid large gatherings, guard the entrances to the communities, and remain close to bomb shelters.

The guidelines are until further notice, the IDF says.
