Home Front Command tightens security guidelines in northern Israel as Hezbollah tensions increase
Home Front Command updated its security guidelines for Israel's northern communities on Sunday, in light of the increasing tensions between Hezbollah and Israel.
The new guidelines limit gatherings in communities along the Lebanese border to no more than 1,500 people. They come into effect at 22:30 on Sunday and end at 20:00 on Monday.
All other security guidelines previously issued by Home Front Command remain unchanged.
Ynet reported on Sunday that the Conflict Line Forum had decided that, independently of the Home Front Command guidelines, they would declare their communities to be at "orange" alert, and shut down schools and education centers beginning on Tuesday.
"I am furious at the disconnect of those sitting in the ivory tower from the reality of the parents, students, and residents here," said Moshe Davidovitz, head of the Mateh Asher Regional Council and chairman of the Confrontation Line Forum. "Not only is this not a green policy, but it is a spit in the face of the children of the conflict line. The blood of our children is not in vain, and we will not wait for a disaster to make life-saving decisions."
