Ahead of the curfew, many Israelis have tried to obtain and finalize the scribes before the holiday • The police deployed forces on central roads and out of the cities to enforce the curfew • In Jerusalem, Mayor Leon has a chametz elimination ceremony for all residents of the capital

Passover eve - and Israeli citizens are taking advantage of the final hours before the closure that begins Wednesday at 3:00 pm, gearing up for a very limited arrangement in the nuclear family. Many queues are registered today at the entrances to supermarkets, and the egg shortage is felt in the marketing networks despite the large quantities imported to Israel in the last two days.

The long queues are accumulating at entrances to maintain emergency regulations and crowdfunding guidelines.

The Shufersal network told Israel Today that there were a large number of visitors yesterday and overnight at the 24-hour branches. Shufersal added that almost all the chain's stores had eggs.

More on:

• Closure and curfew: what is forbidden, what is allowed - the full document

• Even when we are alone - we have a common heritage

• We are all united and together we will grow stronger

• Disturbing documentation: Density in food distribution in Bnei Brak

Ethan Yohananoff, CEO and owner of the Yohananoff Network, said: "Following the closure announced, we witnessed a moderate arrival at the branches during the night and morning. Most of the public has already arrived and families are preparing for the holiday evening and closing hours. In our branches, only point blanks, mainly eggs, were recorded, following the increase in demand. We are here for the Israeli public and the food security of all of us in this challenging time. Happy Passover and Health to all the people of Israel. "

In Jerusalem, Mayor Moshe Leon conducted a large chametz fire for all residents of the city. Due to the situation and the ban on burning chametz fires, about 100 containers were placed in the neighborhoods and residents were asked to put the chametz in them by morning.

"Despite the challenging situation and the rules that we adhere to, we have been honored not to give up any custom. I thank the residents for their cooperation and of course to the rabbis, who have gone to great lengths to burn Jerusalem's chametz. A happy and healthy holiday for everyone," said Mayor Leon.

At this time, the Israeli police are preparing for the closure of the closure at 15:00. Police mobility is deployed on the central roads and exits from the cities to prevent violations of the general closure provisions imposed throughout the state. Policing forces will patrol cities, including entertainment venues that teens usually spend time with. Police made it clear that enforcement would be uncompromising.

At present, the police are concentrating on preventing the passage between cities as required by the Ministry of Health and the Government. On Highway 461, near Winter Stadium to the east, a police checkpoint was set up to prevent Tel Aviv residents from entering the city.

Unlike previous years, traffic in Ayalon lanes is now flowing and sparse. In recent years, heavy traffic was recorded on Israeli roads at this time because many citizens used to travel and celebrate the arrangement with their families across the country.
