Sirens in Western Galilee triggered by interceptor fired at false target
Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent
Sirens that sounded in the Western Galilee a short while ago were triggered by an interceptor missile fired at a “suspicious aerial target,” the IDF says.
The target was later determined to have been a false identification, meaning not a threat.
The sirens sounded in Yarka, Yanuh-Jat, Abu Snan, Julis, Klil, and Amka amid fears of falling shrapnel from the interceptor missile.
There are no injuries.
