Alarms are sounding in southern Israel, explosions can be heard all over the country

Alarms sounded early Thursday morning in Abu Qrenat near Dimona in southern Israel, the IDF spokesman reported. Residents across the country, including central Israel and Jerusalem, reported hearing “loud explosions” that “shook the houses.”

According to unconfirmed reports, the explosion was the result of a patriot battery reacting to a missile launched on Israel. The patriot was reportedly launched from near Dimona and intercepted a missile over the city of Modi’in. However, it is unclear at this point where the missile was launched from.

Several clues have indicated that the missile was launched from Iraq, while other reports say it originated from the town of Daraa in southern Syria following a possible Israeli air strike in the area. The IDF is investigating the incident.This is a story in progress.
