As part of two separate army exercises tomorrow, a siren will be sounded in northern Israel and large numbers of troops and military vehicles will be conducting drills near the Gaza border, the IDF says.
The alarm will be sounded at 10:05 a.m. in the following areas: Kiryat Shmona, Nahariya, Metula, Ma’alot Tarshiha, Shlomi, Fassuta, Hurfeish, Peki’in, Gush Halav, Ghajar, Kfar Vradim, Mi’ilya, Mateh Asher, Maale Yosef, Marom Hagalil, the upper Galilee and the foothills of the Hermon.
The exercise in southern Israel will begin just after midnight and last through the morning, the army says.
As part of the drill, the following roadways will be closed to traffic between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m.: the Carlsberg Junction, the Yad Mordechai Junction, Gevim Junction, Urim Junction, Tze’elim Junction and Route 25 at Tekuma.
The IDF says these exercises are not tied to any specific event, but are part of the military’s yearly schedule.
