False Rocket-siren Alarms Sound in Israel's Gaza Border Communities

Rocket alarm sirens heard in Israel's Eshkol region near the Gaza border on Sunday morning were later confirmed to be a false alarm.

• Hamas elects new politburo chief: Haniyeh replaces Meshal as political leader
• Ismail Haniyeh's election as new Hamas politburo chief brings Gaza back to center stage
• A photo op with Trump is nice, but what the Palestinians really need is money

The regional council had earlier said that no explosion was heard and that no injuries or damage were sustained in the area.

Last month, militants in Sinai fired a rocket at the Eshkol region moments after Israel closed its southern border with Egypt for fear of an imminent attack. The rocket hit a greenhouse in a southern Israeli community near the Egypt and Gaza borders.
