The preparation time provided by the advance warning of this threat will be relatively short and will vary depending on the distance from the source of the shooting:

  • On the line of confrontation - a few seconds before the alarm is activated.
  • In the northern region - up to about a minute before the warning is activated.
  • In other areas of the country - until about two minutes before the warning is activated.

Upon receiving advance warning of firing from Lebanon, you must approach a protected area, so that when the alert is activated, you can enter it according to the defensive time in your area.

It should be emphasized that there will be cases in which an alarm will be activated without prior notification. Likewise, there may be cases in which prior notification is received but no alarm will be activated.

""The Home Front Command will continue to examine and improve the capabilities of warning citizens, with the aim of giving the public additional time to reach the protected area safely, wherever possible," the IDF statement said.

Commander of the Home Front Command, Maj. Gen. Shai Klapper: "Out of a deep commitment to the security of civilians and to improving defense capabilities, we have completed a professional process designed to provide advance guidance on firing from Lebanese territory. The goal of the move is to allow the public additional preparation time before receiving a warning.".
