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.
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.
