IDF predicts missile attacks on Jerusalem

2012-01-26 27 Dailymotion

The IDF has recently updated threat scenarios for every major city in Israel -- and for the first time predicted that missiles might hit Jerusalem, even in a relatively minor conflict. The threat scenarios are compiled by the Home Front Command and are based on intelligence collected regarding the enemy's intentions, as well as its capabilities. The municipalities and local councils are then provided an estimated number of missiles they can expect to face in a conflict and are advised on how they should prepare. To reach out to the haredi sector, the Home Front Command recently drafted 20 ultra-Orthodox soldiers who would be responsible for visiting haredi neighborhoods in Jerusalem such as Mea She'arim, clearing out bomb shelters and preparing protected rooms.
