IDF: In light of terror warning, Eilat residents can't rest easy

IDF Spokesperson Brigadier General Yoav Mordechai told Ynet that he cannot assure Eilat residents that they "can rest easy" in light of the tension on Israel's border with Egypt. "Saying such a thing would be irresponsible," he said. "It's a gamble."

Residents have been prohibited to travel south of the Netafim Border Crossing and Highway 12 due to a terror warning issued for Eilat. (Ahuva Mamos)
