Suspected drone infiltration alarms that sounded in Kiryat Shmona and nearby towns were false alarms, the Israel Defense Forces says.

“No aircraft were identified infiltrating Israeli territory,” the IDF says in a statement.

It adds that one rocket was fired from Lebanon at the northern community of Margaliot.

The projectile landed in an open area, causing no injuries or damage.

The IDF says it is responding with artillery shelling toward the source of the rocket fire.

Separately, the IDF says that overnight, surface-to-air missiles were fired from Lebanon at military drones near the border. Another aircraft struck the source of the missile fire, it adds.
