During Operation Protective Edge, no matter where a rocket at Tel Aviv was aimed, the entire city of 400,000 people ran to shelters.
IDF Central Command is rectifying that situation by dividing Tel Aviv into 4 separate warning zones: North Tel Aviv and the Yarkon, Central Tel Aviv, South Tel Aviv and Yafo, and eastern Tel Aviv, according to a Walla report.

That way, when Hamas launches rockets at Tel Aviv, only 100,000 people will need to seek shelter, instead of 400,000.
The Tel Aviv municipality asked the IDF to further divide the city, but the IDF decided against it at this point in time.
The IDF is planning to subdivide additional cities this way in the upcoming years.
