The municipality of Karmiel has decided to open public bomb shelters as a precautionary measure due to the current security situation and potential escalation with Iran. Mayor Moshe Koninski instructed the municipal security officer and security services to enhance readiness and inspect all public shelters.

The mayor's office emphasized that current Home Front Command directives remain unchanged. Residents were also reminded that the 106 hotline and information service are available 24/7.

This decision comes amid ongoing assessments by Israeli intelligence that Iran is not abandoning its nuclear program, casting doubt on diplomatic solutions. Israel reportedly remains prepared for a new phase of military confrontation with Iran, despite diplomatic contacts between the US and Iran.

The report also highlighted the importance of timely reactions to air raid sirens, noting the limited time civilians have to reach safety. It referenced Israel's multi-layered civil defense system, developed over decades, which includes various types of shelters with specific operational requirements.
