As part of the expansion of the weapons reform led by the Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, three cities and a regional council have been approved as localities eligible for a personal weapons license.
The decision was made after staff work and a professional examination by the Israel Police, and the professionals in the Firearms Licensing and Supervision Division.
Following the decision, citizens in these localities will be eligible to apply for a license, subject to meeting the criteria and conditions set forth in the law.
