The Jerusalem Municipality is providing a range of activities to help residents cope with the ongoing conflict with Iran. As Operation Roaring Lion continues, the municipality offers educational, interactive, and entertainment options to distract and engage
the community. These activities are particularly focused on children and youth, whose schooling has been disrupted.

The initiative aims to create a sense of community and provide emotional support during these challenging times.
