Israel has announced the end of the emergency status in its southern region, marking the first time the designation has been lifted since the attacks that occurred in early October. The special legal status, which granted authorities expanded powers during the conflict with Hamas, will expire on Tuesday. Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that the decision reflects improved security conditions in the south, achieved through sustained military operations. Despite lifting the emergency measures, Katz emphasized that Israel remains committed to its objectives, including dismantling Hamas's military capabilities and ensuring the security of its citizens.
