Sirens sounded again in Kiryat Shmona at around 00:10, shortly after the IDF declared the previous siren a false alarm, according to reports. The military says the matter is under investigation. No immediate reports of interceptions or casualties.
A new siren was activated in Kiryat Shmona at around 00:10 Jerusalem on Friday, minutes after the IDF declared the previous siren a false alarm. The military said it has opened an investigation. No immediate reports of interceptions or casualties have emerged.
The Zioneer first reported on the initial incident at 00:03, when residents reported hearing sirens without an official alert. By 00:03, the Kiryat Shmona municipality confirmed the siren, and N12 journalist Guy Varon reported it was a false alarm. At 00:07, the IDF officially declared the false alarm, attributing it to Israeli activity in the area, as The Zioneer reported.
The false alarm pattern echoes recent incidents. On Jun 12, the IDF attributed false alarm sirens to Israeli forces' activity. On Jun 14, sirens in Kiryat Shmona and Manara led to interceptions and a reported fall. On Jun 17, interceptions were reported over Kiryat Shmona without warning sirens, as The Zioneer reported.
The nature of the latest threat—if any—remains unconfirmed. No sirens or interceptions have been reported in adjacent communities. The IDF investigation is ongoing.
