A short while ago, sirens were sounded in the Western Galilee area following the identification of a suspicious aerial target that crossed from Lebanon into Israeli territory, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit said.

"The target is being monitored by the IAF and the incident is ongoing. The public is requested to follow the Home Front Command’s defensive guidelines."
