The army is holding large-scale exercises in the Upper Galilee and in the area surrounding Eilat on Tuesday, the IDF says.
In northern Israel, the army will activate an emergency siren that will be heard in Acre, Carmiel, Sakhnin, Alon HaGalil, Kfar Masaryk and other towns and village in the Galilee.
If there is a real attack, the siren will sound twice, the army says.
Near Eilat’s Uvda airbase, residents may notice a large number of soldiers and army vehicles. This is a pre-planned exercise and not a cause for alarm, the IDF says.

Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
