Rocket Alerts - Gaza Border - False Alarm

Starting at 11:58 AM on Sunday, the Rocket Alert sirens began going off for communities along the Gaza border.

Update: The IDF says the Rocket Alert was a false alarm.

In IDF parlance, a false alarm can mean anything from no rocket was launched, the rocket fell short and landed in Gaza, or a rocket was launched and landed in Israel, but wasn't going to hit in a populated area, so the siren should not have gone off.

When the sirens go off along the Gaza border, residents have seconds to run to a bomb shelter.
