IDF to test rocket alert system in Haifa area
The IDF will tomorrow test its rocket alert system in Haifa and the surrounding suburbs in northern Israel.
At 10:05 a.m., the incoming missile alarm will sound in the city of Haifa, as well as in the surrounding communities of Tirat Hacarmel, Nesher, Kfar Galim and Hahotrim.
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.
