The IDF Home Front Command has instructed residents of the northern city of Safed and several other communities in northern Israel to remain close to bomb shelters until further notice.

The move comes as Israel expects rockets by Hezbollah from Lebanon, following the killing of top commander Ibrahim Aqil and at least 15 other operatives in Beirut yesterday.
