Video footage from N12 depicts Israelis in Tel Aviv taking cover with their hands over their head as the sirens go off. The sirens activated during preparations for the national ceremony for October 7.
"Lie on the ground, put your hands on your head," a man can be heard yelling in the video as they lay on the exposed ground.
As a result of the sirens, departures and arrivals at Ben-Gurion Airport have been temporarily suspended.
