Schools are cancelled nationwide as the Home Front Command issues stricter guidelines following assessments by the IDF that Iran will launch missiles on Israel.

All educational activities are prohibited, and gatherings are limited to 200 outdoors and 500 indoors.

A Home Front Command spokesman tells the Israeli public to make sure that safe rooms and shelters in their buildings are accessible, and/or to know where the nearest public shelter is.

A Channel 12 report says Ben Gurion Airport remains open, but authorities are weighing whether to close it.
