Israel Caps Gatherings at 5,000, Canceling Concerts as Iran Missile Strike Looms

3 articles · Updated · The Jerusalem Post · Jun 14

Israel’s Home Front Command imposed a nationwide 5,000-person cap on gatherings Sunday night, forcing major concerts by Omer Adam and Eyal Golan to cancel as the military braced for a possible Iranian strike.
Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir said the IDF was on high alert for a ballistic missile attack in the coming hours, which Israel expects as retaliation for its airstrikes in Beirut earlier Sunday.
Israeli officials said any Iranian fire would trigger an Israeli response, likely airstrikes, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened the Security Cabinet as efforts to keep the Lebanon front separate from Iran faltered.
Iran had fired about 25 missiles at Israel last week without causing deaths, and Iranian commander Ali Abdollahi said after the Beirut strike that Tehran’s “finger is on the trigger.”
Monday’s school schedule was still unclear, underscoring fears that another short but intense Israel-Iran exchange could again disrupt daily life nationwide.
