The updated measures affect towns near the border as well as Meron, Bar Yochai, Or HaGanuz and Safsufa, shifting them to a level of partial activity amid rising tensions.
Under the new guidelines, educational activities and workplaces may operate only indoors or in areas with access to protected spaces. Public gatherings are now limited to 200 people outdoors and 600 indoors, with the restrictions in place from Friday afternoon through Monday evening.

A proposed plan would allow three supervised bonfire ceremonies with up to 200 participants each, though the framework may still change following pressure from ultra Orthodox officials.
