The military says it intercepted “a suspicious aerial target” off the coast of the densely populated Gush Dan metropolitan region, after the sound of loud booms was reported in central Israel.

An IDF statement adds that warning sirens weren’t activated “in accordance with protocol.”

No injuries occurred in the overnight attack, for which there has been no immediate claim of responsibility.
