In many areas across Northern and Central Israel, including the Northern border region, the Golan Heights, Upper Galilee, the northern valleys, Haifa Bay, Carmel, Menashe, Wadi Ara, Sharon, the Tel Aviv metropolitan area and surrounding districts, Yarkon, Shephelah, Jerusalem, Judean Shephelah, Lachish, central Negev and Eilat, the “limited activity” level remains in effect.
Under this designation, public gatherings are limited to a maximum of 50 people at locations where access to standard shelters is available within the required time after an alert is issued. Educational activities are suspended while workplaces are permitted to operate provided that appropriate shelters are accessible. Beaches in these areas also remain closed to the public.
Meanwhile, in several other areas, including southern Golan (except for Katzrin and Kedmat Zvi), Lower and Central Galilee, as well as certain locations in Sharon, Jerusalem, Judean Shephelah (excluding Beit Shemesh) and Lachish, restrictions have been partially eased.
In these areas, some educational activities, particularly those related to special education, may resume at facilities equipped with standard shelters in accordance with guidelines issued by Israel’s Ministry of Education.
The embassy advised the Vietnamese community to closely follow official announcements and instructions from the IDF Home Front Command. It also urged citizens to familiarize themselves with the locations of nearby shelters both at their residences and workplaces, remain calm, comply with local authorities’ regulations and move quickly to shelters whenever security alerts are issued.
