Israel’s Home Front Command announced Tuesday evening a full return to normalcy across the country, lifting all restrictions that had been in place during the recent Iran war. The decision followed a situational assessment and was approved by Defense Minister Yisroel Katz.
According to the updated guidelines, all regions of Israel—except for the Gaza border communities—are now permitted to operate without limitations in all areas of daily life. Schools, workplaces, and public gatherings may resume normal activity after nearly two weeks of intense fighting and in light of the current ceasefire.
In the Gaza periphery, educational activities may now take place without restriction, subject to instructions from the Ministry of Education and local municipalities. Workplaces in that region are also authorized to operate as usual.
Gatherings and public services are now allowed for up to 2,000 participants, except in towns officially classified as being in a state of emergency, where restrictions will remain in effect.
The Airports Authority also confirmed that Ben Gurion Airport and Haifa Airport are resuming full operations. The limitations on the number of incoming and outgoing flights, as well as on the number of passengers per flight, have been lifted. Entry to airport terminals for both travelers and accompanying individuals is once again permitted.
Starting Wednesday morning, duty-free shops in the airports will reopen, in accordance with all relevant security and regulatory guidelines. Border crossings will continue functioning as normal.
The Home Front Command urged the public to remain vigilant and stay informed by following official updates through the National Emergency Portal and the Home Front Command’s mobile app.
