The Israel Defense Forces says the Patriot air defense system launch in northern Israel appears to be a false alarm.
The IDF says it identified a suspicious object in the air approaching northern Israel and fired an interceptor at it.
After an initial investigation, it was revealed to not be a drone, the military says. “There is no threat to residents,” the IDF adds.
The military says that contrary to various reports, it did not carry out new strikes in Lebanon.
