The Home Front Service has issued updated instructions due to the current security situation.
Based on an assessment of the situation, changes have been made to the instructions for several regions of the country.
In the Galilee Center, restrictions have been eased and the region is now moving from limited activity to partial activity. Gatherings of up to 100 people are allowed in open spaces and up to 350 people in closed spaces.
In the Upper Galilee, educational activities are permitted, but only in standard secure premises, subject to specific exceptions.
These guidelines are effective as of Thursday, October 10, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. and remain in effect until Saturday, October 12, 2024 at 8:00 p.m.
Previously, “Cursor” reported on the Home Front Service’s recommendations on behavior during a bike ride on Yom Kippur.
In anticipation of Yom Kippur, which will begin on the evening of October 11, the Israeli Home Front Service has issued recommendations for safe behavior when riding a bicycle, which has become a tradition on this day.
During Lent, traffic traditionally stops across the country and many families take the opportunity to explore the outdoors, including cycling for children and adults. However, this year, given the tense situation, special attention is being paid to security in the event of an airstrike.
The Home Front Service urges parents to prepare their children in advance for possible sirens while cycling. In case of alarm, you should carefully stop on the side of the road, get off your bicycle and seek the nearest shelter in a building as quickly as possible. If there is no safe room nearby, it is recommended to lie on the floor, cover your head with your hands and stay in this position for about ten minutes.
It is also recommended to use the special Home Front Services application, which will allow you to receive updated warnings and instructions in real time. It also emphasizes the importance of wearing safety helmets when riding a bicycle to avoid injuries.
These measures aim to guarantee maximum safety and reduce risks on this special day, in which the usual rhythms of the city stop to observe an ancient tradition.
