A suspected drone infiltration alarm is sounding in the Galilee Panhandle, near the Lebanon border.
The alerts are activated in the communities of Kfar Blum, Kfar Szold, Neot Mordechai, Lehavot HaBashan, Iftach, Ramot Naftali, Gonen, Malkia, Sdeh Nechemia, Dishon, Shamir, and Amir.
The IDF is looking into the cause of the alarms.
