Police confirm Eshkol siren was false alarm

After police say a rocket hit an open area in the Eshkol region during the just-started five-day truce, a police spokeswoman confirms to The Times of Israel that the siren heard over the southern region was a false alarm and that no rocket was launched toward it.

Negev District Police spokeswoman Nava Tabo says reports of a hit were “a mistake,” adding that the police will issue a correction.
