IDF to test emergency sirens in Beit Shemesh tomorrow
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe IDF will test its emergency siren system in the central Israeli city of Beit Shemesh and the surrounding area at 10:05 a.m. tomorrow, the army says.
In the case of an actual rocket alert siren, the system will sound twice.
In addition to the sirens, there will also be emergency broadcasts on the IDF Home Front Command’s smartphone application and on special beepers that the army has given to people with hearing problems.
As always, the IDF says that the system test is not connected to any particular incident and was scheduled months ago.
