Israel Police will allow civilians to come armed to performances at Tel Aviv's Yarkon Park, Army Radio reported Monday morning.
This decision comes as huge concert events are set to return to venues, with the first being Israeli star Omer Adam's upcoming show. The return of these large events brings the need for increased security. Security forces decided to allow civilians to attend events with personal firearms, rather than increasing the amount of security personnel, Army Radio report noted.
Increased security for shows and events in Israel
Adam's concert was originally scheduled for Monday, April 15, but was postponed following the Iranian drone and missile attack on Israel early Sunday morning. Israeli media reported that the show has been rescheduled for Thursday, April 18, following the Home Front Command's move to lift restrictions.
The move to increase concert security and other big events comes six months after the October 7 massacre, during which Hamas terrorists attacked the Nova music festival in Re'im.
