Sirens warning of a hostile aircraft intrusion were activated in Metula, a frontline community in the Upper Galilee, at 04:38 on Friday morning, June 12. Residents were instructed to enter protected spaces and remain there until further notice. The nature of the intrusion — whether a drone or another type of aircraft — has not yet been specified.
The alert comes amid a sustained pattern of drone and hostile aircraft infiltrations from Lebanon into northern Israel over the past week, with The Zioneer reporting similar incidents in Metula and surrounding areas on June 7, 9, 10, and 11. On June 7, the IDF confirmed that a suspicious aerial target was identified in its own operational zone in southern Lebanon — not over Israeli territory — and no casualties were recorded. The current incident remains under investigation, and no interceptions or casualties have been reported so far.
