Drone footage shows Israel commuters in lockdown

Israelis have been adjusting to a second nationwide lockdown on Monday (September 21) coming at the start of the Jewish high-holiday season, forcing residents to stay mostly at home for the next three weeks.

A lockdown was imposed in late March and eased in May as public health numbers inproved.

Israeli leaders have acknowledge they lifted measures too soon, but the move to reimpose sweeping restrictions has angered residents struggling amid an economic downturn.

Under the new rules, Israelis must stay within close proximity of home, with exceptions for activities such as commuting to workplaces that will operate on a limited basis.
