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.
