The Israel Defense Forces announces it will hold a test of the siren systems and emergency preparedness in the Haifa suburb of Nesher tomorrow.
The sirens will sound in the northern city at 9:05 a.m.
Residents of the area are asked to enter bomb shelters when they hear the sirens and to ensure that their shelters are well-stocked for an emergency.
In the case of an actual attack, the sirens will sound twice, the military says.
The drill comes amid the IDF’s two-week-long “Firm Hand” exercise, involving nearly all units of the military.
