Israeli Citizens Carry Weapons in Public Places

On October 7, the attacks by armed members of the Palestinian group Hamas on Israel had a significant impact on the perception of security among Israelis. This is reported by The Guardian, which has published a photo series on the topic.

According to the Israeli Ministry of National Security, since that time, more than 260,000 new applications for firearms licenses have been submitted. It is noted that 300,000 reservists generally carry weapons with them, regardless of their location.
