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.

Earlier, Channel 12 news said Israeli defense officials were worried the latest round of fighting with armed terrorist groups in Gaza, would spread to the north of the country.
