On Novemeber 17 a  false alarm caused the Iron Dome missile-defense system to fire an interceptor missile, but no rocket was fired from Gaza at Israel.

 

The Code Red rocket-alert siren went off at the Sha'ar HaNegev Regional Council due to gunfire inside the Gaza Strip.

 

The Iron Dome system has become highly sensitive following upgrades it recently underwent, which resulted in the Ashkelon battery firing a missile that had to explode midair when it became apparent it had no target to hit.
