Israeli Government Imposes Gathering Limit Amid Security Concerns

Women work in a garment factory, as factories reopened after the government has eased the restrictions amid concerns over coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak in Dhaka

The Israeli government has implemented restrictions on gatherings in several areas of Israel, including Tel Aviv and Netanya, limiting them to no more than 1,000 people. These guidelines were published on Saturday and will remain in effect until Monday at 6 p.m. local time (11 a.m. ET).

This decision comes in response to recent security threats, including a 'rocket barrage' launched by Hezbollah targeting multiple locations in Israel on Saturday. Additionally, Israel intercepted a missile fired by Hezbollah near Tel Aviv just a few days prior, on Wednesday.

It is worth noting that stricter measures have been in place for Israeli citizens residing near the country's borders with Lebanon and Gaza due to ongoing security concerns.
