The IDF reported on Wednesday that an interceptor missile was launched near the Erez Crossing on the Gaza border in response to a false target.
The incident, which occurred in the southern region bordering Gaza, was confirmed by military officials, who said the launch was triggered by a false detection in the sector. No real threat was identified, and there were no reports of damage or injuries.
The IDF regularly employs interceptor systems as part of its defense apparatus against potential aerial threats, but false alarms occasionally occur due to system sensitivities. Further details were not immediately provided.
