New Alert System to Give Earlier Warnings for Houthi Missiles

Stand for Israel  |  April 17, 2025

The Home Front Command in Israel will roll out a new alert system so that Israelis will get notifications 3-5 minutes before sirens sound for Houthi missiles, reports The Times of Israel:

Starting on Thursday, in the event of missile fire from Yemen, the Home Front Command said it would send out an early warning on its app to those in areas under potential threat. This push notification would give people 3-5 minutes to prepare to seek shelter before sirens sound.

The IDF said the early alert does not require people to seek shelter immediately, and it was intended to give them more time to prepare and feel safer.
