Israeli military eases some safety restrictions

Israel's military has said that public safety guidelines that have mandated school closures and other restrictions would ease in some parts of Israel from 6pm local time. 

Parts of the occupied-Golan Heights and the occupied West Bank, in addition to areas in southern Israel near Gaza and in Eilat, would be changed from "essential activity" to "limited activity" or "partial activity".

The changes would be in effect until 8pm on 20 June, the military said.
