The biggest civil defense exercise held to date in Israel, covering the entire Haifa northern half of the country, was staged last night.

A partial blackout of the Haifa port was accompanied by emergency style operations of the port installations and civil services. Mock attacks of “enemy planes” were met with anti-aircraft fire.
