In light of the current security situation, the Home Front Command has issued new guidelines to help protect all citizens and visitors across Israel.
Your safety and well-being are a top priority, and we kindly ask that you follow these directives closely:

- Starting Friday, June 13, 2025, at 03:00, the entire country will shift to essential activity only. Only essential services will remain operational–supermarkets, pharmacies, hospitals, health fund, and the like. Your shoemaker, manicurist, and favorite pizzeria, are closed.
- Public gatherings are currently prohibited including synagogue services.
- Israelโs airspace is closed; all incoming and outgoing flights are suspended until further notice.
- Please stay within close reach of a protected area (bomb shelter) at all times. Try this website for a list of the public shelters near you: www.safewayil/.ovh
- In case of a security threat, sirens will sound, providing approximately 10 minutesโ warning. Note, in the past few days, this gap has narrowed.
For real-time alerts and guidance, install the official Home Front Command app:
