Netanya opening public bomb shelters amid fears of worsening Gaza violence
The city of Netanya, a coastal city around 30 minutes north of Tel Aviv, opens its public bomb shelters as a precaution for residents amid the wave of rocket fire into southern Israel from the Gaza Strip.
The decision is made by the municipality, not the the IDF’s Home Front Command.
