Sirens warning of a suspected hostile aircraft infiltration in northern Israeli border communities were triggered by a false identification, the Israel Defense Forces said on Sunday morning.

“Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in the areas of Zar’it and Shomera, it was determined to be a false identification,” the military stated.
