Israeli Defense Forces soldiers lie on the ground while in the foreground a mock rocket can be seen during an army exercise simulating an attack with chemical weapons in Holon, outside Tel Aviv, 03 November 2011. Sirens wailed briefly in Tel Aviv and its vicinity on 03 November, as part of a drill in central Israel simulating missiles striking across the country. The Israeli military‘s Home Front Command, police, firefighters and Magen David Adom ambulance services practiced evacuating and treating civilians in a village south-east of Tel Aviv, and in a nearby country club. Specialists in coping with chemical and biological attacks were also involved. The drill comes amid speculation in Israel that the government may be weighing a strike against Iran. A military spokeswoman said the exercise was 'routine' and part of the Home Front Command‘s duty to be prepared for any event. She told dpa that, if the frequency of such exercises appeared higher than in the past, this was also due to comfortable weather conditions. EPA/OLIVER WEIKEN
