A false alarm in Tel Aviv frightened the residents: "I did not understand what it was, I was stressed"
A continuous siren at the base of the campus caused pressure and confusion among the city's residents, some of whom thought it was a continuation of the exercise that took place earlier in Herzliya.
Only then, the IDF spokesman clarified that this was a malfunction in the base's public address system. "Only when the alarm lasted for long minutes did I realize that nothing was happening."
