IDF: Following the situational assessment, the Home Front Command defensive guidelines remain unchanged and in effect until Sunday, May 17th, 2026, at 20:00 PM.

Assessment

The IDF has extended existing Home Front Command defensive guidelines through May 17, 2026, signaling that the security establishment assesses the current threat environment as stable but still requiring public readiness. This extension suggests no immediate escalation is anticipated, yet the military is not yet comfortable relaxing protocols. The key question is what assessment or event might trigger a change before that deadline.
