The FBI and security officials from 28 countries met in Miami on Wednesday, to take part in an anti-terrorism drill.
The drill was part of a regional exercise called Operation Cassandra, which tests other South Florida departments with similar scenarios.
Miami Beach police said the following areas were affected:
• Hebrew Academy, 2400 Pinetree Dr.
• Fana Holtz High School, 2425 Pinetree Dr.
• 2400 block of Pinetree Drive.
• 2400 block of Flamingo Place.
• 24th Place and 25th Street between Pinetree Drive and Flamingo Drive.
Residents in the affected areas are required to present identification to access their homes. Parents were allowed to drop off their children at the Miami Beach Scott Rakow Youth Center, according to a police statement.
The Hebrew Academy and Fana Holtz High School were closed. Police said no students were involved in the mock attack.

Having police officers hold an anti-terror drill in a yeshiva building is actually a very good thing. Should there ever, chas v'shalom, be an actual incident in that building, responding officers will have the advantage of having been there before. They'll know the layout and, with G-d's help, be able to more quickly gain control of the situation.
