Comprehensive guide for working with Pikud HaOref (Israel Home Front Command) alert APIs. Build integrations with real-time rocket alerts, earthquake warnings, and civil defense notifications. Covers official and community endpoints, geo-blocking workarounds, community libraries (Node.js, Python, C#), notification bots, dashboards, and historical data analysis. Use when building alert integrations, fetching live or historical alert data, or deploying monitoring services. Do NOT use for non-Israeli emergency systems or generic webhook frameworks.

Building integrations with Israel's Home Front Command (Pikud HaOref) alert system requires navigating undocumented APIs, geo-blocking constraints, Hebrew-only response formats, and a scattered ecosystem of community libraries, Tzofar fallbacks, and Home Assistant plugins. Developers lose hours reverse-engineering endpoints, handling UTF-8 BOM, determining when a situation is truly over, and combining oref + Tzofar data for multi-day conflict analysis.

Build a Telegram bot that polls the Pikud HaOref real-time alerts endpoint every 2 seconds and sends a message to my chat whenever there is an alert for Tel Aviv or Ramat Gan. Include the time-to-shelter countdown from cities.json and handle the UTF-8 BOM.
Is there currently an active alert for Ashkelon? Use the dual-check pattern: poll alerts.json for the instant snapshot, then check the history endpoint (GetAlarmsHistory.aspx) for recent cat 1-7 alerts without a matching cat 13 'event concluded' message.
Help me deploy a polling service for the Pikud HaOref alerts API on a GCP me-west1 (Tel Aviv) e2-micro VM to bypass geo-blocking. The service should poll every 2 seconds and expose an SSE stream that my app elsewhere in the world can subscribe to.
Analyze alert patterns from the last week of conflict. Combine oref history (GetAlarmsHistory.aspx for full categories including pre-alerts and event-concluded) with Tzofar historical data (iterate alert group IDs backwards from api.tzevaadom.co.il/alerts-history). Normalize timestamps to Asia/Jerusalem and deduplicate by city name.
Assist with Israeli legal research including legislation lookup, case law concepts, Hebrew legal terminology, and legal document preparation guidance. Use when user asks about Israeli law, "chok", "mishpat", "bagatz", court procedures, employment law, contract law, real estate law, or needs help with Hebrew legal terms. Covers civil, commercial, employment, and administrative law. Do NOT use for providing formal legal advice, always recommend consulting a licensed Israeli attorney (orech din). Do NOT use for non-Israeli legal systems.
Israeli cybersecurity regulatory framework guidance covering INCD (Ma'arach HaSyber) national directives, Bank of Israel Directive 361 (cyber for financial institutions), Directive 357 (payment security), ISA requirements for TASE-listed companies, and sector-specific rules for fintech and healthtech. Use when user asks about cyber regulation Israel, INCD compliance, Bank of Israel directives, ISA cyber requirements, or sector cyber rules. Do NOT use for privacy law compliance (use israeli-privacy-compliance instead).
Audit and ensure Israeli e-commerce legal compliance, Consumer Protection Law, return policies, price display, accessibility, and cookie consent. Use when user asks about "online store compliance Israel", "Chok Hagnat HaTzarchan", "consumer protection Israel", "return policy Israel", "IS 5568 ecommerce", "cookie consent Israel", or "חוק הגנת הצרכן". Covers cooling-off period validation, price display requirements, Hebrew terms of service generation, accessibility compliance (IS 5568), and business disclosure verification. Do NOT use for food-specific compliance (use israeli-food-business-compliance) or privacy/GDPR (use israeli-privacy-shield).
