Editing Civil defense siren (section)

===Middle East===

====Iran, Kuwait, and Iraq====
Kuwait has an entire siren system of [[Federal Signal Modulator]]s. They once had an entire system of Thunderbolt system 7000's, until they all got replaced. However, one System 7000 remains on display.

====Israel====

Israel has more than 3,100 warning sirens. Most of the sirens in urban areas are German-made HLS sirens, models F71 and ECN3000. All the other sirens are HPSS32 models made by Acoustic Technologies ([[ATI HPSS|ATI]]). During the early 2010s, mechanical sirens were gradually phased out and replaced by electronic ones, although the mechanical ones were generally left standing. The air-raid sirens are called {{lang|he|אזעקה}} {{lang|he-Latn|az'aka}}, 'alarm', and consist of a continuous ascending and descending tone. The ''all clear'' signal, called {{lang|he|צפירת הרגעה}} {{lang|he-Latn|tzfirat harga'a}}, is a constant single-pitch sound. In recent conflicts, use of the ''all clear'' signal has been discontinued, as it was seen as causing unnecessary confusion and alarm. In certain regions in the south of Israel, which regularly undergo [[Palestinian rocket attacks on Israel|rocket attacks]] from [[Gaza Strip|Gaza]], a specialized system called [[Red Color]] is used.

There is an earthquake warning system in Israel, which uses the sirens, called {{lang|he-Latn|Trua}} ({{lang|he|תרועה}}).

The ''all clear'' signal is used three times per year to denote a moment of silence (of one or two minutes): once on Israel's [[Yom HaShoah|Holocaust Remembrance Day]] and twice on the [[Yom Hazikaron|Day of Remembrance]].

====Saudi Arabia====
Most [[Loudspeakers in mosques|minaret speakers]] are used as sirens. The purpose of warnings is to notify the population of a danger that threatens their lives. Individuals must go to shelters or their homes, lock doors and windows, take appropriate protective actions, and listen through the radio and television for instructions of civil defense. The entire siren system is ASC I-Force and Whelen WPS-2900 series. As well as some [[Federal Signal Modulator]]s in Air Force Bases, and a FS EOWS 1212 in Dammam.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.998.gov.sa/English/CivilProtection/Pages/whistle_alarm.aspx|title=Whistle Alarm|website=Civil Protection}}</ref>

====Turkey====
Turkey has Nationwide Siren System of Mechanical Sirens and Loudspeakers, though [[Loudspeakers in mosques|minaret speakers]] also are used as sirens sometimes. Models for mechanical sirens used across country are Selay SL-1170's, Even though the main models of the warning speakers are unknown, there is a slightly common presence of [[Federal Signal Corporation|Federal Signal]], [[Whelen Engineering Company|Whelen]] and Hörmann, Sonnenburg, despite very rare cases of some Elektror or [[Siemens-Schuckertwerke|Siemens-Schuckert]] models remaining. They sound-off during the memorial of [[Death and state funeral of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk|Atatürk's death]] on November 10 at 9:05 AM and often sound off for common emergencies such as [[Earthquake|Earthquakes]], [[Tsunami|Tsunamis]], [[Tornado|Tornadoes]], [[Chemical plant]] issues or incoming enemy attack. Sirens are controlled by [[Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency|AFAD]]. Sirens can also be mounted on roofs, or sometimes on 30{{nbsp}}m long Towers.

====United Arab Emirates====
The United Arab Emirates uses an integrated national Early Warning System (EWS) which was developed in 2017 and utilizes a network of [[cell broadcast]], [[variable-message sign]]s on roads, radio alerts, television alerts, and [[Loudspeakers in mosques|loudspeakers in mosque minarets]] as sirens. The warning system is managed by the National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA) and is used to warn the public during times of an emergency or a disaster.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ncema.gov.ae/en/initiatives/early-warning-system.aspx#page=1|title=National early warning system|publisher=National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA)|access-date=30 September 2023}}</ref>
