27 October 2025 12:08 GMT
Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Monday that he will end a state of emergency in Israel’s south, which has been in place since October 2023, Israeli media have reported.
“I have decided to adopt the IDF’s recommendation and to remove, for the first time since October 7, the special situation in the home front,” Katz said in a statement.
The order will expire tomorrow, and for the first time in over two years there will be no active “special situation”, the Times of Israel reported.
