IDF: False identification led to launch of interceptor missile in Western Galilee

Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent

An interceptor missile was launched at a “suspicious aerial target” over the Western Galilee a short while ago, the military says.

After investigating, the IDF says it was determined to have been a “false identification,” meaning not a threat.

No sirens sounded.
