False alarm prompts Israeli interceptor launch near Gaza Strip

Sirens sounded in Israeli communities near the Gaza Strip on Friday, prompting the military to launch an interceptor missile towards a suspected threat, the Israeli military said.

The military later confirmed that the launch was triggered by a false alarm, and no threat was detected.

Israeli media reported on Friday that U.S. Middle East peace envoy Steve Witkoff is visiting a food distribution centre in Gaza.
