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 various regions of the country.
In the Galilee Center, restrictions have been eased, with the region now moving from limited to partial activity. Gatherings of up to 100 people are allowed in open areas, and up to 350 people in closed spaces.
In the Upper Galilee, educational activities are permitted, but only in standard type secure premises, subject to specified exceptions.
These guidelines come into effect from Thursday 10 October 2024 at 6:00 pm and remain in effect until Saturday, 12 October 2024 at 8:00 pm.
Previously, “Cursor” reported on the recommendations of the Home Front Service 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 on bicycle rides, which have become a tradition on this day.
During Lent, traffic traditionally stops across the country, and many families take advantage of the opportunity to explore the great outdoors, including cycling for both children and adults. However, this year, given the tense situation, special attention is being paid to safety in case of an air raid.
The Home Front Service urges parents to prepare their children in advance for possible sirens while cycling. In the event of an alarm, you must carefully stop at the side of the road, get off your bike, and find the nearest shelter in a building as quickly as possible. If there is no safe room nearby, it is recommended to lie on the ground and cover your head with your hands and remain 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 up-to-date warnings and instructions in real time. It also emphasizes the importance of wearing safety helmets when riding a bicycle to prevent injury.
These measures are aimed at ensuring maximum safety and reducing risks on this special day, when the usual city rhythms stop in order to observe an ancient tradition.
