IDF Closes Northern Training Zones to Public During Holiday
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Tuesday that it will prohibit public access to training zones, also known as firing zones, in northern Israel throughout the upcoming holiday period. The closures will affect areas including the Golan Heights, Carmel, Ramot Menashe, and the Natufa region.
The military is urging the public to respect these restrictions and refrain from entering the prohibited areas, emphasizing the need to allow security forces to carry out their missions without disruption. The IDF stated that these zones are continuously used for military exercises, and any entry into a military area requires prior coordination and approval.
Access to these military areas without prior authorization is considered dangerous and poses a risk to the public's safety. The IDF also advised hikers who encounter unexploded ordnance, ammunition, or any suspicious objects to maintain a safe distance and immediately report it to the Northern Command at the provided phone number: 073-348-3007.
