The military says an interceptor missile was launched at a “suspicious aerial target” over the northern border community of Ghajar this evening.
The target was later determined to have been a “false identification,” the IDF says, meaning not a threat. Many such “false identifications” have been birds.
Sirens sounded in Ghajar amid the incident.
