\nDear Members of the Technion Community,
\nEarly this morning, Israel entered a state of conflict. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims\u2019 families, the inhabitants of southern Israel, and our defense forces.
\nThe Technion administration is vigilantly monitoring the evolving situation and preparing for multiple contingencies. Campus shelters are now accessible, and a situation room has been established to oversee developments.
\nAs of now, the Home Front Command has issued no specific directives for the Haifa region. We continue our operations as usual, exercising appropriate caution.
\nPlease note the following crucial announcements:
\n\u2022 Based on the Home Front Command\u2019s guidance, activities at the Technion campuses in Haifa will resume as usual tomorrow. However, the Sarona campus in Tel Aviv will remain closed.
\n\u2022 The second period (Moed B) exams of the spring semester and the first period (Moed A) exams of the summer semester, originally scheduled from Sunday, 8th October 2023, through Friday, 13th October 2023, will be postponed. An updated exam timetable will be released by the Office of Undergraduate Studies. Rescheduled dates will fall within the initial two weeks of the semester, set for afternoons and Fridays.
\n\u2022 A significant number of students have been mobilized for reserve duty. We stand ready to provide them with all necessary support.
\n\u2022 In light of a marked uptick in cyber-attack warnings, and in collaboration with the National Cyber Directorate and peer academic institutions, the security of the Technion\u2019s systems has been enhanced. Users outside Israel may encounter intermittent disruptions.
\n\u2022 The Security Unit\u2019s hotline operates around the clock at 04-8292222. More details can be found at https:\/\/bitahon.technion.ac.il<\/a> .
\n\u2022 The Dean of Students Office remains available to assist. For any concerns, please reach out to:
