The mayor of the central ‘Israeli’ city Ramat Gan announced that he is reopening the shelters amid fears that Iran could carry out a ballistic missile attack on ‘Israel’. 

“The assessment is that the threat of missiles from Iran over the weekend has grown and is no longer negligible,” the mayor, Carmel Shama-Hacohen, says on Facebook, quoted by Hebrew media.

The opening is being undertaken “out of an abundance of caution,” he adds, but says that the military has not issued a warning of any kind.

The ‘Israeli’ Home Front Command has not changed its guidelines yet.

Iran and the United States have been trading blows for almost 12 days, amid a dispute on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran has targeted many Gulf countries, in what it says is “retaliation” for US strikes.
