The government is expected to approve on Sunday the extension of the special home-front emergency status, security officials said Friday. The assessment states that despite a relative decrease in fighting intensity, there remains a high probability of an attack on the civilian population. The extension maintains the Home Front Command's enhanced authority to impose restrictions on gatherings, schools, and civilian activity.
The government is expected to approve on Sunday the extension of the special home-front emergency status, security officials said Friday. The decision maintains the Home Front Command's enhanced civil-defense authority, including the ability to impose restrictions on gatherings, schools, and civilian activity based on evolving threat levels.
The assessment, which The Zioneer reported earlier Friday, states that despite a relative decrease in fighting intensity, 'there is still a high probability that an attack on the civilian population will occur.' The extension comes amid ongoing tensions with Iran, which have kept the security establishment on high alert.
The government has repeatedly extended the emergency status since June, including through June 30, July 28, and August 11, as The Zioneer has reported. The current extension would continue the status beyond the previous deadline.
