Many residents were alarmed on Monday afternoon 7 Sivan, shortly before 16:00 as sirens were heard in the Shvelah, Ben-Gurion Airport, Shomron and other areas. In addition, third party applications alerted countless people from different areas who are informed of sirens via their smartphones.

Hence there was a social media buzz immediately after the sirens sounded as many tried to ascertain if there was a rocket attack somewhere. Minutes later it was reported there were no attacks or any “unusual activities” in any of the areas where sirens were heard.
