Jerusalem: The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) announced Thursday evening the immediate lifting of gathering restrictions in central Israel, including Tel Aviv and its suburbs.

The decision, taken by the IDF’s Home Front Command, followed the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon that went into effect early Wednesday.

The command previously limited gathering to up to 2,000 people in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, as well as in other areas of central Israel, following the launch of projectiles by Hezbollah from Lebanon.

In northern Israel, gathering restrictions remain in effect, with a maximum of 10, 100, 350, or 2,000 people, depending on their proximity to the Lebanese border.
