(Worthy News) – The country is in a near-total lockdown with residents forbidden from traveling more than 328 feet away from their homes.

“Will there be a total closure on the Seder? As it seems right now, the answer is yes,” he told Army Radio. “There will be strong enforcement in this regard so that everyone will [celebrate the holiday] with his or her family only,” said Grotto.
Grotto was confirming an earlier announcement by Interior Minister Aryeh Deri, who told Channel 12 that the Passover lockdown was intended to prevent large gatherings of groups and anyone caught driving Wednesday night will be stopped by police. [ Source:CBN News (Read More…) ]
