Sirens are set to go off in Tel Aviv Tuesday morning, as part of a routine drill. They will be heard in four phases throughout the city. On the off chance that a true emergency will take place, a second alarm will also be heard.
The sirens are set to be heard during the following times and at the following locations:
10:10 – south Tel Aviv

10:30 – east Tel Aviv

Apart from the alarm, a Smartphone put out by the Home Front Command will also go off, as well as being broadcast on the 102FM and 103FM radio stations. Beepers for the hearing impaired will also send out a singal.
