The Birthright-Taglit program has announced it will temporarily cease its visits and activities in the Gaza Belt region due to the current escalation of violence by Hamas terrorists along Israel’s southern border.

There has been no official change in the security guidelines for residents by the IDF Home Front Command.

Nevertheless, the security director for Taglit sent a memo on Monday to organizers, saying, “Program activities and accommodations are prohibited until further notice at any site and guest house within this geographical range.”
