IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari announces new restrictions on civilian gatherings amid threats of an Iranian attack on Israel.
The Home Front Command guidelines prohibit educational activities nationwide and restrict gatherings to 1,000 people. In some areas, such as near the Gaza and Lebanon borders, stricter gathering restrictions already exist.
While most educational institutions are currently out due to the Passover holiday, Hagari says the restrictions also apply to school trips and camps.
The restrictions are valid through Monday at 11 p.m.
Hagari says Israel’s air defenses “are on alert” and “dozens of planes are ready in the sky.”
