The Israel Defense Forces says it will hold a preplanned drill at its headquarters in Tel Aviv tomorrow and on Tuesday.

The military warns residents of the area that explosions may be heard between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Monday, and between 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday.

At 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, a siren will sound in the area, the IDF says.

The IDF says the drill is preplanned, meaning it did not stem from a new assessment.

The military’s headquarters, known as the Kirya base, is located in central Tel Aviv near the Azrieli Mall and Sarona Market shopping areas, a government building, and numerous office buildings.
