An Arabic-language the source reports that a hostile aircraft alert in the Ram Ridge area appears to be a false alarm. Residents also told the Home Front Command app they received the alert, and the IDF says it is checking the details.
The hostile aircraft alert in the Ram Ridge area, first reported at 23:14 Jerusalem on Wednesday, now appears to be a false alarm, according to an Arabic-language source. The IDF has not yet issued a final determination, and the military said it is checking the details. This update follows The Zioneer's initial reporting of the alert at 23:14.
The alert was first reported at 23:14 when the Home Front Command issued a general alert to northern Israel. Within minutes, residents reported receiving the alert specifically for a hostile aircraft in the Ram Ridge area, and journalist Adir Lakhim confirmed the report. The IDF stated at the time that it was investigating.
The incident is the latest in a series of alerts in northern Israel in recent days, some of which were later declared false alarms. As The Zioneer reported on Sunday, a false alarm was declared in Arab al-Aramsha after a false identification. Similarly, a suspected drone infiltration in the confrontation line area on June 8 was also determined to be a false alarm. Earlier this evening, interceptions were reported over Iraq, and a separate alert in Ghajar was under investigation.
The IDF has not yet confirmed the false alarm classification. The source of the alert remains under investigation, and no further details are available at this time.
