‘Safed is under siege’
The historic mountaintop city of Safed in the Galilee region is closed to traffic, both from the outside and within the city’s limits.
Public transportation is completely shut down, and police have closed the winding mountain roads that lead in and out of the city, leading to media headlines calling the city “besieged.”
A reminder: Jerusalem is expected to receive the same treatment starting at 10 a.m. (in just over an hour), when police will close the mountain highways leading into the capital.
