The IDF says an incident in Eilat earlier, during which sirens sounded in Israel’s southernmost city, was a false alarm.
Sirens had sounded in Eilat after the IDF launched an interceptor missile at what it initially said was a “suspicious aerial target.”
The IDF now says “this was determined to be false identification.”
