Any citizen who meets the detailed tests for carrying a private firearm due to self-defense and serving the security forces, and is without a criminal or medical record, will be required to undergo a telephone interview instead of a physical interview, and will be able to receive permission to carry a firearm within a week. (Self-defense tests: residence in an eligible settlement, rifle veterans 07 and above, officers in the rank of lieutenant and above and combatants in the rank of major and above in the IDF and the security forces, service in special units, firefighters, policemen, and workers and volunteers in the rescue forces). <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2. Any citizen who received a conditional permit to purchase a firearm and did not purchase a firearm during the year 2023 and the conditional license has expired, will be able to purchase a firearm now without the need to submit another application. The exemption will apply to about 4000 citizens. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3. Any citizen who deposited his weapon in the last six months due to failure to perform refresher training or renewal training, will be able to receive his weapon back. The exemption will apply to about 1800 citizens. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>4. In addition, starting next Tuesday, conditional permits to carry firearms will be issued with a permit allowing the purchase of up to 100 bullets instead of 50 today. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-previous-shortcomings-in-civilian-defenses-highlighted\">Previous Shortcomings in Civilian Defenses Highlighted<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ben Gvir&#8217;s announcement follows reports of civilian security teams lacking adequate weaponry to counter Hamas terrorists during recent confrontations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This acknowledgment of previous shortfalls underlines the strategic importance of the new acquisitions and distribution efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-detailed-strategy-for-enhanced-civilian-security\">Detailed Strategy for Enhanced Civilian Security<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ben Gvir outlines the strategy: distributing new weapons and gear to \u201chundreds of towns\u201d with civilian security squads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teams, sometimes staffed by civilian volunteers from the Border Police, are key to localized security. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, areas currently without such teams will see new units established, reinforcing security infrastructures amidst the ongoing conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-guardian-of-the-walls-2-an-assertive-stance\">&#8220;Guardian of the Walls 2&#8221; &#8211; An Assertive Stance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe will turn the world upside down so that towns are protected.
