Home Front Command issues new directives for Tel Aviv, Jerusalem
The directives will be in effect until October 5 at 8 p.m.
The Home Front Command issued new directives for central Israel and Jerusalem on Tuesday, following the invasion of Lebanon on Monday.
Educational activities can be carried out in areas where safe areas can be reached, such as the Carmel, Wadi Ara, Menashe, Shomron, Sharon, Dan, Yarkon, Shfela, Jerusalem, and Shfelat Yehuda areas.
Gatherings are limited to 30 people in open spaces and 300 people in closed spaces.
Regarding places of work, the Home Front Command said activities can continue as normal, so long as individuals can reach a protected space within the 90 seconds.
The directives will be in effect until October 5 at 8 p.m.
Israel Police announced on Tuesday that they were ready to implement the directives of the Home Front Command.
As a result, several events with large audiences will not go ahead, including the main selichot prayers at the Western Wall on Tuesday night.
The Hostage Family Forum said that as a result of the directives, the hostage families' rallies planned for this Saturday night in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem will not go ahead.
Sirens in Tel Aviv
This comes after a man in his 50s and another in his 30s were wounded following sirens that sounded in central Israel on Tuesday, Magen David Adom (MDA) said.
The IDF said the alerts had been triggered due to projectiles that had been fired at Israel from Lebanon, with some of them being intercepted.
