Israel lifts restrictions on communities in northern Israel, Golan heights

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel lifted orders restricting movement and large gatherings issued on Thursday night for a number of communities in northern Israel and the Golan Heights, its military said on Friday.

The restrictions were ordered following the start of an intense wave of Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon on Thursday afternoon which added to growing fears of a serious escalation in months of conflict along the border.
