A spokesman for the IDF informed all emergency response squads in northern Israel that from Sunday they are disbanded due to the ceasefire, according to a report by Guy Varon (N12). The development follows the lifting of Home Front Command restrictions on frontline communities.
A first publication by N12 military correspondent Guy Varon reports that the IDF has notified all emergency response squads in northern Israel that as of Sunday they are released from duty, citing the ceasefire. The emergency squads are civilian volunteer units that operate under the IDF's regional commands in border communities; their release signals a formal recognition that the immediate security threat in the north has subsided. The notice dovetails with the Home Front Command's earlier decision to lift all civil-defense restrictions on the northern frontline, which took effect Monday morning at 06:00, as The Zioneer previously reported. A specific date for the release (Sunday, June 28) is mentioned in the report, though the formal IDF order has not yet been released.
