The Israel Defense Forces announces it will hold a test of the siren systems and emergency preparedness in Tel Aviv and Haifa tomorrow.
The sirens will sound in Tel Aviv’s city center at 10:05 a.m., in the south of the city and Jaffa at 10:15 a.m., east at 10:25 a.m., and the Ever Hayarkon industrial zone at 10:35 a.m.; at 12:05 sirens will sound in Haifa’s Neve Sha’anan and Ramot Hacarmel neighborhoods.
Residents of the area are asked to enter bomb shelters when they hear the sirens and to ensure that their shelters are well-stocked for an emergency.
In the case of an actual attack, the sirens will sound twice, the military says.
The drill comes amid the IDF’s month-long “Chariots of Fire” exercise, involving nearly all units of the military.
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.
