IDF extends defensive guidelines in Israel

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) Home Front Command has announced that following a situational assessment, the current defensive guidelines for the Israeli civilian home front will remain unchanged. The existing protocols, which include restrictions on public gatherings and other safety measures, are now extended and will remain in effect until Tuesday, April 28, 2026, at 20:00. This extension indicates a continued assessment of a heightened threat environment, particularly from ongoing hostilities with Hezbollah in the north.
