IDF Says Kissufim Alert Was a False Identification

Rocket and missile sirens sounded in Kibbutz Kissufim, in the Eshkol Regional Council near the Gaza Strip, at 5:24 a.m. Israel time. The Home Front Command said six minutes later that the incident had ended while the IDF reviewed the details. At 5:33 a.m., the IDF said the warning had resulted from a false identification. The official Hebrew and English military notices matched the contemporaneous reports, with the sequence lasting nine minutes from the initial alert to the final clarification.
