Israel Sirens - Worldmonitor

The Israel Sirens panel (internal id oref-sirens) surfaces the OREF (Israel Home Front Command / Pikud HaOref) civil-defence siren feed in real time. When sirens are active, the panel shows the impacted localities; when none are active, it shows 24-hour history grouped into waves so an analyst can see the recent pattern at a glance.

What the panel shows

Two states under a single panel frame:

Active siren state — current OrefAlert[] with impacted areas and threat labels.
History state — the last 24 hours of siren activity grouped into waves (historyWaves: OrefHistoryEntry[]). The count badge shows the total wave count in view (MAX_HISTORY_WAVES = 50).

Summary counters surface across the panel:

24-hour count — number of siren waves in the last 24h.
Total history count — full retained waves.
Configured state — when the OREF relay isn't configured, the panel renders an explicit "not configured" empty state rather than a silent zero.

A 3-minute client cache (HISTORY_TTL = 3 * 60 * 1000) and an in-flight flag (historyFetchInFlight) prevent thundering-herd re-fetches when the panel re-renders.

Panel id is oref-sirens; canonical component is src/components/OrefSirensPanel.ts. Title from i18n (panels.orefSirens); config name: "Israel Sirens".

How you reach it

Cmd+K: type siren or oref.
Availability by variant: registered and enabled by default in the full/geopolitical variant only (priority: 2). The full-variant registration layers premium: 'locked' on desktop (_desktop && { premium: 'locked' as const }), so the panel is free on web and PRO-locked on desktop. Not present in the tech, finance, commodity, or happy variants. Source: 'oref-sirens' in FULL_PANELS of src/config/panels.ts.

Data sources

fetchOrefHistory() in @/services/oref-alerts — backed by /api/oref-alerts (a Railway relay that mirrors the OREF feed; documented under Proxies).
Live sirens are delivered separately via the same relay; the panel's setData() path accepts an OrefAlertsResponse with the configured flag + active alert list.

Backed by endpoints

Surface	Endpoint	Notes
Panel relay path	`GET /api/oref-alerts`	Current browser path for active sirens and history.
Generated service RPC	`GET /api/intelligence/v1/list-oref-alerts`	`mode=MODE_HISTORY` serves Redis history; live mode tries the relay and falls back to cached counts.

Refresh cadence

Real-time for active sirens. History is client-cached for 3 minutes to damp re-fetch on re-render.

Tier & gating

Free on web; PRO-locked on desktop. Registered without premium on the web path; the desktop variant spreads premium: 'locked' via the _desktop && clause.
