Sirens were activated in the Gaza area as a result of Israeli forces operating inside the Strip, according to reports. The incident has been declared over and appears to have been a false alarm.
Sirens sounded in the Gaza sector shortly before 11:36 Jerusalem time, triggered by ongoing IDF operations inside the Strip. The military activity set off the alerts, which were quickly determined to be a false alarm. The incident has been declared over.
No incoming fire, injuries, or damage have been reported. The Home Front Command did not issue a separate shelter order, consistent with the assessment that the sirens were a technical false alarm resulting from forces operating in the area.
The episode was brief and localized.
The nature of the IDF activity that caused the alert has not been detailed.
