IDF says rocket sirens in Sderot were false alert
The Israel Defense Forces says the rocket sirens that sounded in Sderot a short time ago were a false alert.
The sirens had sounded half an hour after the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip was supposed to take effect.
However, the implementation of the ceasefire has been delayed because Hamas has not abided by the terms and has failed to provide a list of the names of the three female hostages who were slated to be freed today.
