⚠️ UPDATED DEFENSIVE GUIDELINES: The changes take effect from Friday, May 1, 2026 at 13:00 until Monday, May 4, 2026 at 20:00, following an ongoing situational assessment by the Home Front Command.

🛡️ PARTIAL ACTIVITY IN NORTHERN AREAS: The Confrontation Line area and the communities of Meron, Bar Yohai, Or HaGanuz, and Safsufa will transition to partial activity levels.

🛡️ EDUCATION AND WORKPLACES: Educational activities and workplaces may operate only in locations where a standard protected space can be reached within the required protection time.

🛡️ GATHERING LIMITS: Gatherings are permitted with up to 200 people in open areas and up to 600 people inside structures.

🛡️ ONGOING ASSESSMENT: All other defensive guidelines remain unchanged. The Home Front Command will continue to update the public if further changes are required.

📻 SHABBAT-APPROVED SILENT BROADCASTS: Radio and television stations switch to silent broadcast mode during Shabbat and activate only for emergency alerts and official instructions, including guidance such as whether to remain indoors. If a radio or TV is not available, these broadcasts can also be accessed through live streams on a phone or computer.

It is recommended to use both a silent radio or TV source together with an alert app or website.
