This directive comes as fears of further retaliation grow following deadly exchanges between the two nations.
According to a statement released by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Sunday, the country’s Home Front Command, responsible for civilian safety, instructed all residents to stay close to protected areas and be prepared to respond to alerts.
“Movement in public areas should be minimised, and public gatherings must be avoided. Upon receiving an alert, enter a protected space and remain there until an official update is issued,” the IDF statement emphasized.
This development follows a surge in hostilities between Israel and Iran in recent days. Israeli forces carried out a series of airstrikes on Iranian military sites, reportedly killing several top officials.

As the conflict continues to escalate, Israel’s directive aims to mitigate civilian casualties and prepare for possible further attacks. The government has not disclosed how long the public safety directive will remain in effect, but additional updates are expected in the coming days.
Authorities have also urged residents to stay updated through official communication channels and refrain from spreading unverified information that may incite panic.
