Early Thursday morning, Israel was targeted by a series of missile launches that kept the population on alert
On three separate occasions, projectiles were fired from Iranian territory towards the country, causing warning sirens to sound in various regions, from the Jezreel and Zevulun valleys to the capital Jerusalem.
At the same time, armed groups in Lebanon, associated with Hezbollah, also sent missiles and drones towards northern Israel, hitting areas of Galilee and the Golan Heights.
Fortunately, there have been no reports of injuries in any of the incidents reported so far.
In at least one case, a missile landed in an open area, causing no damage to people or structures.
Around 6:20 a.m., sirens sounded again in Western Galilee after the launch of an unmanned aerial vehicle (drone) from Lebanon.
About ten minutes later, the Home Front Command announced that the threat had been neutralized, with no confirmed impacts or casualties.
These attacks occur in a context of heightened tensions in the region.
On Wednesday night, the Home Front Command had decided to relax some of the restrictions imposed during the war, with the changes taking effect from Thursday.
The country moved from the level of “essential activity” to that of “limited activity,” which allows a partial resumption of some daily routines, although still with strict security precautions.
Among the main changes announced are the prohibition of educational activities in general – except for specific cases provided for in the rules -, permission for meetings of up to 50 people, provided that everyone can reach a standard protected space within the necessary time in case of an alert, and authorization for workplaces to operate only where it is possible to quickly reach adequate shelter.

These more flexible measures went into effect at noon on Thursday and are expected to remain in place until 8 p.m.
on Saturday.
The decision reflects an attempt to balance the need to protect the population with the importance of allowing daily life to gradually return to normal, even in the face of persistent threats.
The multiple launches from Iran and Lebanon show that the security situation remains volatile.
Israeli defense forces continue to closely monitor hostile movements, activating warning and interception systems whenever necessary.
While sirens echoed in various parts of the country, the population followed safety protocols, heading to shelters and heeding official instructions transmitted in real time.
Despite the seriousness of the events, the absence of casualties and significant damage represents a momentary relief amidst the prolonged conflict.
Authorities continue to assess the impacts and coordinate responses, while Israeli society remains vigilant in the face of an unstable and unpredictable regional scenario.
