Sirens warning of suspected drone infiltrations are sounding across northern Israel.
The alarms are activated in Safed, Katzrin, Majdal Shams, and many other communities in the Upper Galilee and Golan Heights.

There wasa series of false alarms this morning, although in the last hour, there have been rocket barrages from Lebanon.
Earlier, the IDF said a suspected drone infiltration siren that sounded in Safed at 1:31 p.m. was a false alarm.
The IDF says an interceptor missile was launched at a target that was later determined to have been a “false identification.”
