'Tzofar' is an app that provides alerts about sirens in Israel.
By using the app you can receive alerts based on city selection, entire areas, current location, and relevant threats.
Tzofar provides alerts on all HFC's threats such as Red Alerts (Rockets and missiles fire), Earthquake, Hostile aircraft intrusion, and more.
There are other options such as selecting alert sound, bypassing silent mode, alerts history, a map showing the areas where an alert was activated, and more.
The system is connected to the Home Front Command servers, and the information comes in real-time.
The app is not official and should not be relied on. always follow the Home front command instructions.
The system was built by Hoshen Kadosh and Itai Guli
I am thankful that this app which serves to warn people of attacks isn’t riddled with advertisements like the others. An app like this shouldn’t be made for profit, so thanks. I do wish the alerts were more clear like “rocket attack” or “hostile aircraft”. “Confrontation line” really is vague.
Please Add Unique Early Warning Announcement
Discerning Israeli User
This app is great. I especially appreciate the ability to choose from different sounds for alerts. It would greatly enhance the app if there would be a uniquely identifiable alert for early warnings (I.e. for HFC Update) For example, it would be great if the list of alert sounds options included a voice repeating “התראה מוקדמת” or “עדכון מפיקוד העורף.”There could be a long option and a short option like you currently have for the “red alert” sound. I currently have the app said to play the voice that repeats “red alert” when there is an HFC Update. I know what that means on my phone , but I am concerned that if I am in a public area, someone might overhear it and misunderstand. Having a more self explanatory alert would be helpful.
Staying Informed in Real Time

This app not only lets me know when there are incoming attacks, but lets me see on the map where they are, and lets me choose what kind of siren or notification. It is very simple to use, and the commands are intuitive. (I had another red alert app installed a few years ago. I reinstalled it today, but it was very annoying - much of the screen was taken up with advertisements.)
Very Accurate

With the current situation ongoing, I have had many opportunities to test the accuracy of the information. The app is very simple to use, and shows the locations area and location on a map. The alert usually comes a few moments before the towns siren if not at the same time. I would suggest this app to all in Israel, for convenience and safety.🇮🇱💙
