Amid rising tensions and military exchanges between Israel and Iran, Israel’s Home Front Command, a division of the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), has issued a nationwide warning, advising citizens to avoid public gatherings and limit movement in open areas.
In a statement issued on Sunday, the IDF emphasized the importance of public safety, urging all residents to stay close to protected areas and to act swiftly in the event of an alert.
“Movement in public areas should be minimised, and public gatherings must be avoided. Upon receiving an alert, enter a protected space and remain there until an official update is issued,” the IDF announced.
