Israeli Police Deploy to Ukraine for Rosh Hashanah Pilgrim Security
Israeli police officers arrived in Uman, Ukraine, on September 5, 2026, to work alongside Ukrainian counterparts in ensuring public order and safety for Hasidic pilgrims during the upcoming Rosh Hashanah celebrations. The officers will remain in the city until the holiday concludes, according to the Cherkasy Oblast police.
During a coordination meeting, representatives from both nations finalized joint strategies for effective security management within the pilgrimage area. Currently, Israeli and Ukrainian law enforcement, along with personnel from the State Emergency Service of Ukraine and the National Guard, are conducting joint patrols and engaging in outreach to pilgrims.
The police reported that the situation in Uman is stable and under control. Earlier, authorities had announced restrictions on entry and movement within the city from September 4 to September 17 due to the Rosh Hashanah observance. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs had also advised Hasidic pilgrims to postpone their travel plans due to ongoing security concerns.
