The Israeli military on Thursday morning intercepted a “suspicious aerial target” that crossed into Israeli territory from Lebanon, triggering red alerts in northern communities.

Sirens sounded in the border towns of Dovev, Matat and Sassa due to a suspected drone infiltration. Another alarm in Dovev warned of an incoming rocket or missile attack.

The Home Front Command confirmed that the incident had ended.
