At 11:32 Jerusalem, red alert sirens were activated in the Gaza border communities of Nahal Oz and Alumim. The IDF Spokesperson's Unit clarified at 11:37 that the alerts were triggered by a false identification, with no actual rocket or hostile aircraft detected. The incident follows two previous false alarms in the same area this morning — at 11:36 and roughly 11:40 — both attributed by the military to Israeli forces' activity in the area. The Home Front Command declared the incident over at 11:35, permitting residents to leave protected spaces. No injuries or damage were reported.
