On Tuesday Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced an expansion of the country’s war goals to include the return of northern Israeli residents.
“It is possible that rockets and additional threats will be launched towards the country in the near future,” Hagari said in his televised statement.
In a separate statement late Saturday, the military said it was tightening restrictions on public gatherings in northern Israel.
“Gatherings will be limited to 30 participants in an open area, to 300 participants in a closed space,” the statement said.
“Arrival to work is permitted as long as there is a protected space available, and educational activities can continue as long as there are protected spaces available,” the statement added, referring to shelters.
