The IDF Home Front Command is set to adjust the warning times it gives to civilians for Iranian ballistic missile attacks, as it assesses further barrages may resume in the evening.
The Home Front Command says it will issue a warning on its app some 15-30 minutes before an expected attack, instructing civilians to remain close to bomb shelters. This should assist those without bomb safe rooms in their homes to head for public shelters.
As missiles are detected being launched, the Home Front Command will give an early warning on its app and use the cell broadcast system to instruct civilians to enter bomb shelters. This will give civilians some 10 minutes to seek shelter.
Sirens will sound 90 seconds before missiles are expected to impact. Once sirens sound, civilians are instructed to immediately enter bomb shelters and remain there until further notice.
Once the barrage is believed to be over, the Home Front Command will issue an update allowing civilians to leave the bomb shelters, and the process will repeat if another attack is expected.
