Home Front Command issued hostile-aircraft alerts in Kfar Yuval, Ma’ayan Baruch and HaGoshrim beginning at 04:24, followed by missile-and-rocket alerts in Dafna and HaGoshrim. At 04:39, it told residents of Dafna, HaGoshrim, Kfar Yuval and Ma’ayan Baruch that they could leave shelters. The IDF said interceptors were launched at a suspicious aerial target that likely crossed from Lebanon into Israel, and that the missile alerts resulted from the interception attempts. The military said interception results remained under review and reported no injuries.
