A 747 jumbo plane carrying 60 tons of medical equipment from China arrived in Israel this morning, the first of five planes scheduled to land in Israel in the next four days to bring badly needed medical equipment from China, including 12 million masks.
Israelis are apparently becoming impatient with staying inside; Israel Police reported that they have issued 2,221 citations to people in the past day for violating lockdown and social distancing regulations.
Altogether, the police have issued 28,806 citations to Israeli citizens since the coronavirus regulations went into effect.
