The IDF Home Front Command has extended the current high alert lockdown status for at least another 24 hours.
“The defensive policy remains unchanged, and is in effect from Monday, June 23 at 6 pm until Tuesday, June 24 at 8 pm,” HFC said following a situation assessment.
The alert applies nationwide.
Under the guidelines, gatherings are entirely prohibited, beaches are closed to the public, workplace activities are prohibited except for essential services, and all educational activities are banned as well.
As one would expect in a Jewish country, supermarkets and pharmacies remain open.
Some 15 ballistic missiles were fired by Iran at Israel on Monday morning in a “drip drip” attrition pattern used previously by Hamas and Hezbollah. The missiles were aimed at northern and central Israel.
One of the missiles struck a strategic energy site, causing a temporary outage that was repaired in less than three hours.
Several people suffered severe anxiety, and a number of others sustained minor injuries as they raced for shelter.
No other casualties were reported.
