The sirens that sounded in a border area Thursday evening were a false alarm, according to N13. The alert was likely triggered by the demolition of buildings near the border, as previously reported. No threat was identified.
N13 has now confirmed what The Zioneer reported at 19:50 Jerusalem: the sirens that sounded in a border area Thursday evening were a false alarm, likely triggered by the demolition of buildings near the border. No threat was identified, and the incident has been declared over.
The Zioneer's first report at 19:50 Jerusalem cited initial assessments indicating the sirens were a false alarm caused by building demolition. Shortly afterward, Israeli security sources officially declared the incident a false identification and gave the all-clear, confirming the assessment. The corroboration from N13 now solidifies the conclusion.
Similar false-alarm events have been documented in recent weeks. As The Zioneer reported on Jun 12, 13:01 Jerusalem, Jun 14, 13:01 Jerusalem, and Jun 17, 13:04 Jerusalem, sirens in the Western Galilee, Metula, and Zar'it were all later determined to be false alarms, often caused by Israeli forces' activity in the area.
All aspects of the incident have been verified. No further developments are expected.
