“Shades of Yom Kippur War: Be’er Sheva Opens Bomb Shelters”
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “(IsraelNN.com) The Home Front ordered Be’er Sheva to prepare for Katyusha rockets and to open 250 public bomb shelters, bringing back memoires of the Yom Kippur War in 1973 when families slept in shelters during Egyptian attacks.
Flyers are being distributed throughout the city, the country’s fourth largest, advising residents that they will have one minute to run for cover in the event of a rocket attack. A wailing siren will sound for 90 seconds, and people are advised to remain in the shelters for at least five minutes before an all-clear signal.
Mayor Rubick Danielovitz called on citizens to continue their daily routine but to be on high alert.”
