Reports suggest that the Israeli Occupation Force is conducting an investigation into the matter. They said the sirens might be false alarm – there was no aerial infiltration, no border clashes occurred and it wasn’t the outbreak of war on a second front with Hezbollah.
“There was an error, and we are investigating it – we will check if it was a technical fault or human error”, said IOF chief Daniel Hagari, as quoted by media.
It is said that thousands of Israelis sought shelter in bomb bunker in fear of earthquake and an attack from Hezbollah of Lebanon.
