IDF: Overnight Acre sirens due to interceptor rockets fired at ‘false identification’ of drone

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

Overnight, sirens had sounded in the northern coastal city of Acre and the Krayot area near Haifa, after interceptor missiles were launched at a “suspicious aerial target,” the military says.

The IDF says that after an investigation, it was determined that the target was “a false identification,” and there was no infiltration of a drone or other projectile into Israeli airspace.

Sirens were activated due to fears of falling shrapnel following the interceptors exploding.
