PHOTOS: Police Call On The Tzibur To Remain Vigilant During Pesach


[PHOTOS IN EXTENDED ARTICLE]

Israel Police is on heightened alert ahead of Pesach and is calling on the tzibur to remain vigilant and to report “anything suspicious” without hesitation. Police are out in large numbers and will continue doing so throughout Yomtov and Chol Hamoed. Officials are calling on the general public to remain vigilant, especially in public areas.

Thousands of regular police, border police, and specialized units will be standing watch over Pesach. Citizens are urged to pay close attention to security officers and to adhere to any and all instructions. In the event of an emergency, one should phone the ‘100’ emergency dispatcher. One may also phone the nationwide ‘110’ number to receive status reports from police.

If you are traveling for Yomtov, police advise leaving a number of room lights on. One is also advised not to leave keys in “known places” such as an electric box, under a plant or under a doormat.

If one is not home it is a good idea to leave a radio on, but not too loud as to avoid disturbing one’s neighbors. One should inform one’s close neighbors if one is traveling as well. One should ask a close friend to collect mail and newspapers so it does not appear that no one is at home.
