IDF reservist moderately wounded by shrapnel from northern interception

An IDF reservist was moderately wounded by shrapnel from an interceptor missile launched over the northern city of Safed earlier today, the military says.
The IDF says it launched an interceptor missile after identifying a “suspicious aerial target” in northern Israel, although it was later revealed to be a false alarm.
The interceptor shrapnel also sparked a fire in Biriya Forest near Safed.
Sirens sounded in the Galilee Panhandle amid the incident.
Separately, another “suspicious aerial target” that was heading toward Israel from Lebanon was shot down by air defenses over the sea, near Nahariya, the IDF adds.
No sirens sounded in the incident.
