Prime Minister Naftali Bennett issued a statement due to the wave of terror in Israel, calling on licensed citizens to carry their firearms at all times: 'Whoever has a gun license, now is the time to carry the gun,' Bennett said.
Bennett also said that IDF soldiers will return home from their bases armed:
'From now on, regular, permanent, and reserve soldiers, from the ranks of riflemen 03 and up, will go home from the bases with their weapons,' Bennett said.
