Israel lifts wartime restrictions nationwide, authorizes Independence Day ceremonies
All war restrictions were lifted on Friday, with activity expected to return to normal on Sunday evening, according to statements from the IDF, Culture and Sports Minister Miki Zohar, and Defense Minister Israel Katz.
The IDF said that, after reviewing the security situation in the country, the Home Front Command determined that all war restrictions will be lifted nationwide, excluding northern border communities, starting Friday evening.
The towns along the Lebanese border will have their restrictions lifted starting Saturday evening, according to new guidelines issued by the Home Front Command.
Zohar also announced the decision in a joint statement with Katz, saying that sporting and music events were expected to resume normal activity.
"The public returns to sports stadiums as usual, culture returns to full activity - including all performances and events planned across the country ahead of the Independence Day celebrations," he said in a social media post.
