The IDF says two separate suspected drone infiltration alerts in northern Israel a short while ago were ultimately determined to be false alarms.
According to the military, sirens that sounded in the community of Malkia were triggered by a false identification.
In a separate incident, sirens warning of a hostile aircraft infiltration sounded in Kiryat Shmona and Margaliot, where the IDF says an interceptor was launched at what was later determined to be a false target.
