The Israel Defense Forces announces it will hold a test of earthquake alert systems in Petah Tikva tomorrow.

A siren will sound in the central city at 10:05 a.m.

In the case of an actual earthquake, the sirens will sound twice, the military says.

The drill comes amid the IDF’s monthlong Chariots of Fire exercise, involving nearly all units of the military.
