This follows the IDF announcement that between 3:30 pm and 3:35, approximately 25 projectiles were identified as crossing into Israel from Lebanon following the sirens that sounded in the areas of Western Galilee, Upper Galilee, and Haifa area.

Additionally, the IDF noted that the sirens that sounded at approximately 3.45 p.m. in the Western Galilee area were determined to be a false identification.
