  • The incident will be investigated by the IDF.
  • A corrected schedule for the siren tests was released.

The spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) issued a clarification on Wednesday regarding a planned Home Front Command sirens test in the Western Negev region. An earlier announcement mistakenly included the names of Nativ Ha'asara, Mivtachim, and Karmia as locations where the test would occur. The IDF stated that the sirens would not be tested in these specific communities today.

The corrected schedule indicates that the siren tests will take place at 9:30 AM in the Yesha, Mivtachim, and Ami'oz areas. Later, at 11:30 AM, the tests are scheduled for the Yevul area, and at 1:10 PM, they will be conducted in the Bnei Nitzanim area.

The IDF spokesperson described the error as a human mistake made in good faith and announced that the incident would be investigated.
