The military says it will hold preparedness drills around the northern city of Haifa in the coming days.

The drills will include sounding sirens and sending out warning alerts to residents of the city and several nearby areas.

Residents are asked to practice going into shelters and check that they are ready for emergencies.

For additional information, residents can contact the Home Front Command hotline by dialing 104, text the hotline on WhatsApp at 052-910 4104, on social media, or at the Home Front’s website, oref.org.il.

The warning comes as tensions continue to climb with Iran. Israeli officials fear a conflict with Iran will draw a response from Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, including massive rocket fire on northern Israel.
