The IDF Home Front Command says it will be extending the warning times for rocket fire from Lebanon on Haifa and another 160 communities in northern Israel.
The move means residents will now have 90 seconds to get to a shelter in those areas, while currently there are only 60 seconds from the sounding of a siren.
The Home Front Command, along with other military bodies, analyzed Hezbollah’s rocket fire and the IDF’s detection systems, and determined that 161 communities in the north can be given longer warning times.
The move will take effect today at 4 p.m., according to the Home Front Command.
