The sirens that sounded a short while ago in Sderot and nearby communities close to the border with the Gaza Strip were false alarms, the military updates.
An interceptor missile had been launched at a “target.” However, a short while later it emerged that it was a “false identification,” according to the IDF.
The sirens were activated “according to protocol” following the launch of the interceptor missile, the military says.
