The Red Alert rocket alert air raid siren did not activate because the rocket exploded outside Israel and was not deemed a threat.

Residents in southern Israel said they heard explosions, but saw no rockets. There were no reports of physical injuries or property damage.

The IDF said it is investigating the circumstances behind the launch.
