Tel Aviv, 23 September 2024 (dpa/MIA) - The Israeli government declared a state of emergency throughout the country on Monday following the dramatic intensification of fighting between the Israeli military and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.

Israeli media said the declaration will last until September 30 and means, among other things, that the size of gatherings can be restricted. So far, however, the army has not yet released any new instructions.
