Siren sounded Saturday afternoon in Manara, Margaliot, and Misgav Am in the Galilee Panhandle, following the launch of rockets from Lebanon. One of the rockets exploded in an open area, and the second was intercepted.
No injuries were reported.
"This incident constitutes a blatant violation of the ceasefire understandings by the Hezbollah terrorist organization," the IDF warned.
About an hour later, at 5:17 p.m., alerts sounded warning of a hostile aircraft infiltration into the western Galilee area. Approximately ten minutes later, the Home Front Command announced that the incident had "concluded" and the IDF later confirmed that two aircraft entered Israeli territory.
"The Israeli Air Force successfully intercepted a suspicious aerial target that was launched from Lebanon toward Israeli territory," a statement read. "Contact with an additional suspicious aerial target was lost."
"No injuries were reported. This incident constitutes a blatant violation of the ceasefire understandings by the Hezbollah terrorist organization."
Shortly prior to the rocket launch towards the Galilee Panhandle, the IDF reported the interception of "a suspicious aerial target that was identified in the area in which IDF soldiers are operating in southern Lebanon, south of the Forward Defense Line."
"The target did not cross into Israeli territory. No sirens were sounded in accordance with protocol."
