⚠️ DRONE ALERTS IN NORTHERN ISRAEL; NETANYAHU TESTIMONY CANCELED OVER SECURITY; SOUTHERN BASE ACCIDENT INJURES FOUR SOLDIERS; POLL SHOWS RIGHT-WING BLOC AT 64 SEATS
🛡️ Northern Israel drone alerts: Sirens sounded in northern Israel at 7:40 AM over a suspected hostile aircraft infiltration from Lebanon. The IDF later said contact was lost with the aerial target, and no injuries were reported.
Missile and rocket alerts were activated due to concerns over falling interception debris.
Additional drone sirens in the Western Galilee at 8:05 AM were later determined to be false alarms. The IDF said the suspected Hezbollah drone likely crashed after contact was lost, while a siren in Arab al-Aramshe was triggered by fears of falling fragments during interception attempts.
⚠️ Netanyahu testimony canceled: At the last moment, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s testimony was canceled. The stated justification was security concerns.
🚑 Four soldiers injured in southern Israel accident: Four IDF soldiers were injured after a Humvee overturned at a military base in southern Israel. The military described the incident as an operational accident.
One soldier was seriously wounded, one was moderately injured, and two were lightly hurt. All four were evacuated to a hospital for treatment, and their families were notified.
