A third interception was reported over the northern town of Metula on Monday evening, following two earlier interceptions confirmed by official Dave Azoulay. Details on the source of the threat remain unclear.
At 22:06 Jerusalem, a third interception was reported over Metula within minutes, according to official Dave Azoulay, who earlier confirmed two interceptions over the same northern town. The source of the airborne threat has not been identified, and the IDF has not yet issued a statement. This latest intercept follows a wave of interceptions first detected over Metula at 21:41 Jerusalem, according to The Zioneer's initial report, which noted they occurred without siren activation. At 21:41, two more interceptions were recorded, and Hezbollah claimed responsibility for firing at an Israeli military force — a version of events later repeated in subsequent thread items at the same timestamp. The intercepts come less than 24 hours after the IDF declared the area open for routine activity, an assessment now under strain. No sirens or injuries have been reported in connection with the third interception either. What remains open: the source of the threat targeted in tonight's interceptions has not been publicly attributed by the IDF, and whether the third interception involved a different type of airborne object than the earlier two is unclear.
