I'd say this is a very good idea.....IF Iran has acquired nukes from Russia or NK while continuing to develop their own, and we attack Iran's facilities, the first target would be Israel IMO.

Israel to hold nationwide nuclear attack drill

Feb 26 11:03 AM US/Eastern
 
Israel will next month stage its first-ever nationwide drill simulating a nuclear and chemical missile attack on its cities, rescue services said Monday.
The exercise was initiated by the army's homefront corps in the wake of last summer's war in Lebanon and Iran's calls for the destruction of the Jewish state and its controversial nuclear programme.


Israel suspects is Iran is aiming to develop an atomic bomb, but Tehran insists its programme is for civilian energy purposes.

The main scenarios which will be simulated are a massive rocket attack on cities as well as a "conventional and non-conventional missile attack," Magen David Adom rescue services spokesman Yerucham Mandola told AFP.

During the drill -- which will include army rescue forces, police, medical and firefighting services -- air-raid sirens may be sounded across the entire country.

The Hezbollah militia fired over 4,000 rockets against northern Israel during the war last summer, killing more than 40 civilians and paralysing the region's industry and economy.

During the 1991 Gulf War, Israeli citizens were equipped with gas masks out of fear of a chemical attack. None of the missiles fired from Iraq against Israel were equipped with chemical warheads.

This would seem to be a good idea given Iran's insistence that Israel will disappear in flames...

So? Whats to comment about. They are just being prudent, much the same as we are with practice drills

Here's an idea; they'll hold a nation wide "practice" drill.....right after the IAF takes off towards Iran.  Maybe that's why no dates listed  Foil on TIGHT today

Anyone care to speculate why gas is back to $2.50 a gallon without any summer consumption model or natural disaster?

They are gearing up for the blend change causing a "shortage". This happens every year a week or so before March . Prices level out in Mid-March baring any disaster.
