Analyst Eldad Sitbon offered insight this week into rocket fire from the Gaza Strip based on location.

"If you live in Tel Aviv, I wouldn't recommend showering around 9 p.m.," said Sitbon, who became well-known in Israel for analyzing data during the coronavirus pandemic. Between 2 and 3 p.m., on the other hand, is a quieter time, "as the terrorists are most likely on lunch break."

Data further shows that Tel Aviv has been targeted by rocket fire at 9 p.m. 13 times, as well as often at 4 and 7 p.m.

Ashdod has been "targeted 142 times so far. Some 50 times on Saturday and another 50 times the next day. In the nine days to follow, the siren sounded 42 times in the city."

As for the quietest cities, "no siren was sound between Netanya and Haifa at all. And, of course, Eilat, where there wasn't a single siren either."

A total of 7,112 sirens sounded in Israel since the outbreak of the war, including false alarms in the north about the possible infiltration of a hostile aircraft.

Although the data offers insight into rocket fire, it should not be viewed as a recommendation and instead viewers should follow the directives of the Home Front Command.
