IDF flares launched near Har Dov along border with Lebanon
This comes after two thwarted attempts of infiltration by Gazans that occurred Sunday night.
IDF flares were launched near Har Dov on Israel's northern border with Lebanon on Monday night. The background of the incident is unclear, though no infiltration has occured.
The flares led to a fire, which, according to the IDF Spokesperson's Unit, is under control.
Following the alert, the Israeli towns of Ma’ayan Baruch and Kfar Yuval were instructed to stay in their homes while IDF units conduct sweeps of the area.
