After investigating, the IDF says that the target intercepted by air defenses over the Lower Galilee early this morning was a “false identification” and not a hostile drone from Lebanon.
Meanwhile, the IDF says five rockets were launched from Lebanon at the Kiryat Shmona area this morning, setting off sirens in the city.
The rockets struck open areas and there are no injuries.
Hezbollah, meanwhile, claims responsibility for three attacks on IDF positions along the Lebanon border, near Dovev and Shtula.
