When the home front is under attack, the Home Front Command has the legal authority to establish and distribute daily guidelines to protect the lives of the residents on the one hand and to enable a normal emergency routine of life on the other hand.

The ability of the home front to manage a routine of life and maintain the economy preserves our strength and is necessary alongside the continuous fighting days at the front.

The defensive guidelines are regularly updated according to the assessments of the situation, that take into account many factors including the amount of alerts in each area, intelligence analysis, familiarity with the population's ability to deal with threats and the means of protection available to the residents.
