The guidelines in the so-called “frontline areas” were also tightened to limit public gatherings to up to 50 people outdoors and 100 indoors
The Israel Defense Forces’ Home Front Command announced the suspension of all educational activities and restricted public gatherings in communities along the border with Lebanon.
The decision to close schools, including those operating in fortified buildings, followed an assessment that Iran-backed Hezbollah would intensify attacks on northern Israeli communities on Sunday and Monday, Channel 12 News reported.
The Home Front Command guidelines in the so-called “frontline areas” were also tightened to limit public gatherings to up to 50 people outdoors and 100 indoors, down from a previous cap of 200 people for indoor events. The restrictions had previously been relaxed on April 9 following the announcement of a two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran.
