IDF raises northern border security threat level following Hezbollah attacks

The IDF's Home Front Command downgraded the northern border security rating from "Green" to "Yellow" on Friday following Hezbollah attacks that wounded Israeli civilians on Thursday and drone strikes numbering one to three daily over the past week. The revised guidelines restrict outdoor gatherings to 200 people and indoor assemblies to 600, while allowing schools and businesses to operate if equipped with nearby safe rooms, as the IDF anticipates Hezbollah attacks will persist.
