The Israeli Home Front Command issued a preliminary directive directly to mobile phones in the relevant regions, urging the public to follow safety guidelines.
‘One must enter protected spaces upon receiving the alert and remain in them until a new announcement. Exit from the protected space will be permitted only after receiving an explicit directive; continue to act in accordance with the Home Front Command’s guidelines,’ the post added.
The IDF stressed that adherence to these instructions is critical for public safety and can save lives.
Meanwhile, The Times of Israel reported that three people were wounded by the impact of an Iranian ballistic missile on a highway on the outskirts of Jerusalem on Sunday evening.
The impact left a large crater in the road, hollowed out a traffic sign, and caused heavy damage to several cars.
The wounded included a 46-year-old man who sustained moderate shrapnel injuries. — Agencies
