Northern regional councils tell residents to stay near protected areas, not to congregate

Following the Hezbollah strike on Majdal Shams that resulted in the death of 12 children and rising cross-border tensions, the Mateh Asher, Upper Galilee, and Western Galilee regional councils issued guidelines to residents of evacuated settlements.

The statements told residents, "Please stay near protected areas, do not walk around, and do not congregate."
