Jom Kippur, also known as the atonement day, is committed in Israel with serious religious practices. During this holiday, the faithful, hope to gain forgiveness for their sins. Social activity is severely restricted; For example, shops, cinemas and restaurants remain closed. Media entertainment is also reduced because television and radio programs are paused. There are no cars on the holiday, apart from police cars and emergency services. This means that many people, including families with children, on bicycles or on foot, make the streets unsafe.

The current security situation is also the result of an intensive military offensive of Israel against the Hisbollah in Lebanon, which has increased since September. Both air strikes and soil operations have been reinforced, which further heated up the tensions in the region.
