The IDF in an update says no rockets were launched by Hezbollah at the border community of Avivim this morning, contrary to its initial report.
A preliminary investigation by the military has found that gunfire carried out by troops in southern Lebanon was mistakenly identified as a threat, and interceptor missiles were then launched, triggering the sirens in Avivim.
