Ashdod residents,

In conclusion of the daily situation assessment, the following is the summary and instructions:

Today we also hosted a senior figure, the Minister of Justice, MK Yariv Levin, who came to be impressed by the city's activities and preparedness. His visit joins a series of visits by ministers and figures since the beginning of the fighting, including the Prime Minister's visit to the Ashdod Port, and the visit of the Minister of Defense, the Minister of Economy, the Minister of Food Security, the Chairman of the Security Committee, and the Commissioner.
These visits allow us to present the activities and have a joint discussion on the needs of Ashdod at this time. I am pleased to inform you that the guests' impressions, without exception, are extremely positive, both of the comprehensive preparation and commitment of all those involved in the work, and of the fruitful cooperation with all security and rescue bodies.
These collaborations are a significant force multiplier for the benefit of the public.

We had a weekend full of alerts and alarms, fortunately without Meanings in the city of Ashdod.
But we are learning lessons from cases of falls across the country, and we are learning again from the events of the past week, how important it is to maintain the Home Front Command's instructions to save lives. Not only the very fact of being careful to enter a protected area, but also staying there until you receive permission to leave. In Jerusalem, we saw fragments of interception over a meter long that landed on the ground 8 minutes after the alarm.
Therefore, with all the difficulty, please remain in the shelter until you receive permission to leave. I am attaching an illustrative video on the matter.

In addition, please pay attention to the fact that the range of rocket fire from Lebanon reached as far as Rishon LeZion and may reach further south, including the city of Ashdod. The warning time in this case is only a minute and a half.
Please be aware that an alarm may sound without a warning message. In this case, you must enter the protected area immediately.

Education- Ashdod is not included in the areas where it was allowed to return to school, and therefore also Due to the caution required in light of the high number of alarms and the launch of missiles from Lebanon to the central region and south of it, with a very short defense time, there is currently no expectation of a return to learning in educational institutions.
Distance online learning will continue, and I take this opportunity to thank the educational staff in the city for their commitment to continuous learning and emotional reinforcement for students, and also to the parents for their full partnership with the education system for the benefit of the children.

Welfare frameworks - operate in a staggered manner in accordance with the Home Front Command's instructions. If you are a welfare patient and need assistance or support, please contact the social workers or the 106 hotline to receive your inquiries 24/7 and in various languages.

Ashdod, strong and united,
Yours,
Dr. Yechiel Lasry, Mayor.
