Heavy traffic is expected in Tel Aviv, Bat Yam and Ramat Gan from around 6 p.m., as security forces hold a major drill on the soon-to-open light rail.

The joint drill held by the Defense Ministry, military, police, fire services, Health Ministry, and Tel Aviv municipality will simulate a chemical terror attack.

Police recommend drivers use the Waze application for updates on the roads that are to be closed during the drill.
