Israel's Military Loosens Some Home Front Restrictions on Gatherings

The Israeli military said on Thursday it was ending some protective restrictions that had limited the size of gatherings in parts of central and northern Israel.

The change was made following a situational assessment, the military said.

Israel and neighboring Lebanon's Iran-backed Hezbollah group agreed to a U.S.-brokered ceasefire earlier this week but accused each other on Thursday of violating the accord.
