Israel has approved the easing of domestic restrictions as a 'message of victory' over Iran, according to the defense minister.

Defense Minister Israel Katz announced the easing of domestic restrictions, describing the decision as a sign of victory in the face of Iranian threats. It comes after recent missile attacks by Iran, and Israeli officials believe their actions have reduced Iran's ability to retaliate. It will also allow restricted gatherings and the gradual reopening of the economy, with schools remaining closed until further notice. The changes will be reassessed on Friday evening.
