IDF: ‘Suspicious aerial target’ identified from Lebanon overnight was ‘false identification’

Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent

The military says the “suspicious aerial target” identified over the Lebanon border overnight was a “false identification.”

The suspected drone had triggered sirens in several border communities near Kiryat Shmona, and additional sirens sounded when the military launched interceptor missiles at it.

However, following a review, the IDF says that the target was not an enemy drone, and the initial sirens were false alarms.
