For the first time since June, sirens sounded early Wednesday morning in the communities of HaGoshrim, Ma’ayan Baruch and Kfar Yuval in the Galilee panhandle following a suspected infiltration of an unmanned aerial vehicle.
Shortly afterward, the Home Front Command announced that the incident had concluded and that residents could leave shelters.
The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said, "Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago regarding a hostile aircraft infiltration in several areas in northern Israel, interceptors were launched toward a suspicious aerial target that likely crossed from Lebanon into Israeli territory."
It added that the interception results are under review. No injuries were reported. The missile and rocket alerts were activated due to the interception attempts.
Meanwhile, Lebanese media reported that the IDF carried out strikes in the area of Ali al-Taher in southern Lebanon.
IDF forces operating under the command of the 91st Division expanded their operational activity in the security zone in southern Lebanon on Tuesday. The operation is aimed at clearing the area of threats and dismantling Hezbollah’s military infrastructure.
As part of the operation, combat teams from the 769th, 4th and 55th Brigades conducted searches to locate and neutralize intelligence and combat infrastructure. During the searches, the troops uncovered weapons stockpiles and a variety of military equipment used by Hezbollah terrorists.
Among the items seized and confiscated were guided anti-tank missiles, rocket launchers, launchers, explosive devices, grenades and Kalashnikov rifles, as well as personal equipment including vests, uniforms and helmets.
