Educational institutions throughout the country are set to take part in a drill practicing responding to a rocket attack tomorrow.

Students and teaching staff will practice entering protected spaces and bomb shelters, simulating a rocket attack during class, the IDF’s Home Front Command says.

No actual sirens will sound during the exercise.
