The full lockdown will last until the end of the Sukkot holiday on October 10.
Demonstrations will be limited to within a kilometer of one’s home, Channel 12 reports. Synagogues will close as of Friday. On Yom Kippur only, synagogues will be allowed to open in a limited capacity.
Certain essential industries will also be allowed to continue to function.
The full cabinet will convene tonight to approve the measures.
More details as they come.
