Overview
- IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir directed force-wide restrictions that confine most soldiers to base and pause nonessential activity.
- Weekend furloughs are canceled from Tuesday 8 p.m. until at least Friday 6 a.m., with only limited exceptions permitted.
- All outdoor training is suspended unless a major general authorizes it, and navigation and camouflage drills are explicitly barred.
- Overnight stays in the field are prohibited unless essential for operations and personally cleared by a division or regional commander.
- Routine missions are pared to essential tasks, with noncritical movement curtailed and logistical convoys requiring colonel or corps commander approval as forecasters warn of flooding and high winds.
