In light of the deterioration of the security situation in the south of the country, the Manufacturers Association of Israel has opened a special emergency room in the settlement of Omer, which will provide 24 hours a day to the southern industrialists in order to help them pass the period of combat and to function optimally according to the Home Front Command's security instructions. 250 factories employing some 60,000 workers, within a radius of about 40 kilometers from Gaza.
The war room will provide a continuous response to all the needs and problems of the factories following the fighting in the south, such as missile strikes in factory buildings, emergency preparedness, shortage of workers, defects in factory protection, power failures, shortage of raw materials, Disruption of transportation routes, receipt of compensation due to the fighting, and more.
The situation room is headed by the director of the Southern Region of the Manufacturers Association, Aviv Hatzbani, who is in continuous contact with defense and defense officials, and regularly updates the factories on every new development in the situation.
"Unfortunately, the southern factories are under constant security threat, which interferes with the regular operation of the factories and harms business certainty, and we are constantly working to assist the factories in routine and emergency situations. As well as continued business activity and continuous functioning as much as possible, and this is also the time to thank industry workers for coming to work in this case and in past cases. "
In addition, the Manufacturers Association is headed by Michal Waxman Hili, the director of the labor department at the association, who advises the factories on the subject of labor laws in the emergency situation.

Telephone Situation Room: 08-6466705. Email: avivh@industry.org.il.
The extent of the economic damage to the south of the country is not yet clear, but the Finance Ministry has decided to guarantee compensation to workers who were forced to stay in their homes due to the suspension of studies and did not come to work. Ministry of Finance officials will approve employers' compensation so that workers can be paid wages even though they have not come to work. Studies in communities up to 40 kilometers away will not be held today.
 Meanwhile, the supply of natural gas from the Tamar reservoir, almost exclusively for natural gas to Israel's energy sector, was gradually stopped, starting at noon, under the guidance of Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz.
Energy production will be carried out with gas from the corrugated board (imported gas) and mainly by other, more expensive and polluting fuels such as diesel and fuel oil. The cost of the move to the economy depends on the length of time that the gas supply will be stopped.
A long interruption in the supply of gas will have an impact on the domestic electricity tariff. The gas is responsible for 54% of the total energy production in Israel's electricity sector, and replacing it with more expensive fuels may be reflected in the electricity rate.
 Some 700 rockets have been fired since the attacks began, and four Israelis have been killed in Ashkelon and Kiryat Gat. A resident of Ashkelon, Moshe Agadi, was killed yesterday morning after being hit by a rocket in the yard, and was killed in a car accident in the Gaza Strip. And efforts to reach a cease-fire and an arrangement are continuing, and the negotiations are being mediated by Egypt and the United Nations. The Palestinians deny that there is a ceasefire agreement. But during the night the shooting stopped in Israel and the attacks on Gaza were almost stopped.
