Israel probes Haifa strike after sirens fail to sound
Israeli authorities have launched an investigation after no air raid sirens were triggered in Haifa during a missile strike from Iran earlier today, despite at least one projectile landing in the city.
Alert system under scrutiny
The Home Front Command confirmed that while a warning had been issued to residents in advance, sirens—which typically alert civilians to incoming threats—did not sound in Haifa at the time of impact. Officials are now probing whether a malfunction in the interceptor system could have caused the lapse.
Systems functioned 'as designed,' say officials
Preliminary findings suggest that the overall alert system operated as designed. However, the lack of localised siren activation in Haifa is being treated as a serious concern, especially given the potential risks to public safety.
Incident under review
The matter remains under active review as military and civil defense teams work to determine whether any technical glitches or procedural errors contributed to the failure. Authorities have assured residents that all necessary steps will be taken to prevent a recurrence.
