(NEWS) IDF: We Can Identify And Intercept Unconventional Weapons

"'Israel has developed capabilities for identifying and intercepting unconventional weapons,' a top IDF officer said Sunday. 'We are not aware, at present, of the presence of unconventional weapons in the hands of Hizbullah nor do we know of such intentions, but there is preparedness for such a scenario,' said Major General Yair Golan, who heads the IDF's Home Front Command.

Golan spoke at the launching of a new civilian readiness campaign by the Home Front Command. The campaign's slogan is 'Be prepared, just in case' and it will inform residents of Israel of the number of seconds or minutes they will have from the moment an alarm is sounded in their region to the moment a missile hits. In this time span, the residents are expected to enter predetermined protected spaces. The citizens will also be instructed to prepare the protected spaces in their apartments and offices and store the necessary emergency supplies inside them."
