Israel Military Closes Northern Training Grounds During Sukkot Holiday
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced that all training grounds and firing ranges in northern Israel will be closed to the public during the Sukkot holiday. The decision was made based on the current security assessment, according to an IDF press release.
The closures will affect several key areas, including the Golan Heights, and the Carmel, Ramot Menashe, and Netufa regions near Haifa. The military is urging citizens to avoid these areas to prevent interference with security forces' operations.
The IDF emphasized that these sites are active training zones and entering without authorization poses a direct threat to life and health. Access is only permitted after coordinating with the command.
Citizens are advised to exercise caution when enjoying outdoor activities. If suspicious objects, ammunition, or debris are found, people should move to a safe distance and report it to the Northern Command. For travel information and coordination, the Northern Command can be reached at 073-348-3007. The army stressed that adherence to these regulations is a legal requirement and crucial for preventing accidents.
