IDF to test rocket alert system in central Israel

The IDF will tomorrow test its rocket alert system in the Sharon region of central Israel.

At 10:05 a.m., the incoming missile alarm will sound in the city of Netanya, as well as in the surrounding communities, from Batsra, north of Herzliya, to Michmoret, south of Hadera.

In the case of an actual rocket alert siren, the system will sound twice, the army says.

As always, the IDF says that its system tests and exercises are not connected to any particular incident and are often scheduled months in advance.
