Limited Access to IDF Training Areas in Southern Israel During High Holidays
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced that limited access for hikers will be permitted in parts of the IDF's training areas in southern Israel during the High Holidays, due to the operational situation and a situational assessment. The military urged the public to avoid restricted areas and allow security forces to carry out their missions without interference. The IDF emphasized that training activities occur continuously in these zones, and any entry into a military area requires prior coordination and approval. Entering without such authorization poses a risk to hikers' safety, the military warned.
Hikers wishing to enter the permitted areas must coordinate their visit at least three days in advance. The IDF also advised anyone encountering unexploded ordnance, ammunition, or suspicious objects to move away immediately and report it to Southern Command. For coordination and inquiries regarding trips in southern Israel, the public can contact 08-9902926/8 or 052-9010563 via SMS only.
