Israel Announces New Shelter Standards Following Iran’s Missile Strikes
According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, Israel‘s military has announced new standards for bomb shelter construction, directly responding to vulnerabilities exposed by Iran’s missile strikes during the 12-day war. The Israeli Army Radio revealed that the Home Front Command will implement these changes based on tactical analysis of the attacks.
The revised protocols mandate clear visual indicators on shelter doors using a red/green color system to confirm secure closure, addressing incidents where improperly sealed doors were blown open by blast forces. Structural upgrades will now include reinforced interior walls, as post-strike investigations showed these surfaces behave like exterior walls upon direct missile impact.
Additional modifications address vulnerabilities exposed during Hamas’s attacks on settlements near the Gaza Strip, with new ballistic protection standards for shelter doors against small arms fire. The updated regulations permit either installation of bulletproof doors or retrofitting existing ones with armored attachments.
These security measures emerge as Israeli society continues grappling with the psychological aftermath of Iran’s deep-penetration missile strikes across occupied Palestinian territories during the conflict. Military analysts note the changes reflect unprecedented damage assessments from sustained precision attacks.
