False alarm causes Iron Dome to fire interceptor missile
Code Red siren sounded at Sha'ar HaNegev Regional Council due to gunfire inside the Gaza Strip, but no rocket was fired; interceptor explodes in midair.
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 underway, which resulted in the Ashkelon battery firing a missile that had to explode midair when it became apparent it had no target to hit.
