The government will convene on Sunday to approve a special emergency home-front situation assessment, reporter Eli Zilberberg reports. The assessment, prepared against the backdrop of heightened tensions with Iran, warns that 'there is still a high probability that an attack on the civilian population will occur.'
The special home-front emergency status, which grants the Home Front Command enhanced civil-defense authority, has been repeatedly extended by the government in recent months. As The Zioneer has reported, the most recent extension was approved on July 25, maintaining the status through August 11. The new assessment signals that the security establishment views the threat to the civilian population as ongoing and significant.
Sunday's approval is expected to formalize the assessment, providing the basis for further civil-defense measures if needed. No changes to current Home Front Command guidelines were announced in the report.
