The alleged Israeli Air Force's violation of Syrian airspace Thursday, and the Syrian warnings that followed it, had no affect on life in the north. Tourist centers in Galilee said no holiday or weekend reservations had been canceled by the afternoon.

"It's all in the media. Nobody canceled. We're all booked up for Rosh Hashanah and reservations for Sukkot are pouring in," said Eran Glik, Kibbutz Merom Golan's tourism manager. "We're all booked up for this weekend as well. Israelis don't believe rumors."

Security officers, fire fighters and rescue services in Haifa and the communities along the northern border and the Golan say they have received no special instructions from the Home Front Command Thursday.
