An interceptor missile was fired by the Israeli Air Defense Array at a suspicious aerial target over the sea off the coast of Haifa in northwestern Israel. Footage shows the missile launch, which occurred a short while ago, in response to what was initially perceived as a potential threat.

No sirens were sounded according to protocol, and there is no fear of a security incident.
