Air raid sirens were finally heard in Israel s two largest cities.

On ROI, Shkumatov proposed restricting the use of these sirens to strictly emergency personnel.

National and local officials in threatened nations must be prepared to respond to warnings within minutes and to communicate warnings to local populations via sirens, mass media, specialized radio systems and other notification technologies.

It s just that with all due respect (or not) all of us regular people in Jerusalem are going to be mighty peeved as this Wednesday through Friday we sit in hours of traffic, arrive to work late and endure loud caravan sirens on the residential streets.
