I'm sorry as well - what an awful time.
Is anyone aware whether Israel did indeed lift the ban on foreigners entering the country today (even with quarantine requirements remaining)?
Shabbat Shalom.

I read somewhere that in Israel people over the age of 67 are not allowed to leave their homes. Actually, I have driven about 30 kilometers to Kiryat Shemona on several occasions and plan to do so again tomorrow. Does anyone here know anything about this?
