Israel will ease domestic restrictions imposed on its population due to the ongoing war with Iran and will “reopen its economy”, Defence Minister Israel Katz has said, AFP reports.

“While we continue our intense fight against Iran until the threats are removed, we will also reopen the economy, ease restrictions, and restore Israel to paths of creativity, activity, and security,” Katz was quoted as saying in a statement after approving the changes for most of the country starting this evening.
