News - Protests against judicial reform due to state of emergency canceled in Israel

Organizers of protests against the overhaul of the judicial system planned for Saturday evening are announcing the cancellation of the weekly demonstrations. “We stand with the residents of Israel and give full support to [the security forces],” protest organizers said in a statement, “We call on all those who are needed to report [for duty] and play their part to safeguard the security and health of the residents of Israel.” The rocket attack on Israel has been going on for more than two hours. As a result of the shelling, one woman was killed and other people were wounded. Sirens were heard in several major cities, including Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and Be'er Sheva. In addition, Hamas cells penetrated across the border into at least one city in the south of the country, Israeli media say. Earlier it was reported that Hamas launched missile attacks on Israel. The IDF declared itself “ready for war.” In turn, Hamas announced a new military operation against Israel.
