(JNS) Yaakov Lappin - In recent weeks, the Israel Defense Force's Home Front Command has become a lot more precise in alerting civilians to rocket attacks. Instead of 255 alert areas, Israel has now been divided into 1,700 areas, meaning that the disruption caused by rocket alerts will be more localized. The new targeted alerts allow for many areas of the country not under threat to pursue routine activities. In 1991, when the whole of Israel formed a single alert area, sirens went off nationwide every time Iraq fired Scud missiles at Israel. On June 10, hours after the new system went into effect, Palestinian terrorists fired at Israeli communities near Gaza. The result was that one kibbutz received an alert, while the adjacent kibbutz slept through the incident. 2019-07-08 00:00:00Full Article
