Israel begins its biggest civil defence drill

---

JERUSALEM, May 31 (AP): Israel began the biggest civil defence drill in its history Sunday, training soldiers, emergency crews and civilians for the possibility of war at a time of rising tensions with Iran.
The five-day drill, code-named Turning Point III, will include simulated rocket attacks on Israeli cities.
Air-raid sirens are to sound across the country Tuesday and for the first time all Israeli civilians will simultaneously be required to practice taking cover when the sirens go off.
Israel believes Iran is developing nuclear weapons and has not ruled out a military strike.
