HOSTILE aircraft that soared into Israel today did not come from Lebanon, as the IDF rules out fears of a second front opening in the war.
Israeli citizens had previously been urged to shelter amid fears of a "large-scale attack" but an IDF spokesperson has now said air raid alerts may have malfunctioned.
The Israeli military has now clarified a rocket fired into the country earlier came from Gaza, not Lebanon.
There were previous unconfirmed reports of up to 20 drones and a number of paragliders crossing the border this evening.
It was not clear at the time who could've been responsible, but Lebanon's Hezbollah terror group and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group had both previously fired on IDF forces.
Both groups are also known to have drones and gliders.
The IDF confirmed the attack earlier but did not announce any possible casualties.
An adviser to Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said the country was planning and prepared for a two-front war after the attack.
Hezbollah had fired missiles at Israeli troops earlier on Wednesday, claiming to have killed and wounded soldiers.
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group (PIJ) also pledged their support to Hamas following their attack on Israel and vowed to join in.
