Independence Day curfew ends as Israel moves toward easing more restrictions
(Worthy News) – A nationwide curfew ended Wednesday evening as Israel’s 72nd Independence Day came to a close, with further restrictions aimed at halting the spread of the coronavirus set to be eased in the coming days.
During the curfew, Israelis were prohibited from venturing more than 100 meters from their homes unless for medical reasons and supermarkets were ordered to close, as authorities attempted to avoid the large parties, picnics, and outings normally associated with the holiday.
Police handed out nearly 1,400 fines over the holiday for violations of the curfew, according to Channel 12 news, and officers patrolled beaches and other open areas — where Israelis traditionally hold barbecues and other festivities for Independence Day — to prevent any gatherings.
