The IDF says it is investigating after a concert held this evening at Tel Aviv’s Yarkon Park was not halted due to the Houthi missile fire on Israel, despite sirens sounding in the area.
In statement, the IDF says it received reports that during the concert, the attendees did not hear the siren that was activated across central Israel, including in the Tel Aviv area.
“The performance was not stopped by security forces at the time of the alert, and the incident is being investigated,” the military says.
