A false earthquake warning was issued in northern Israel, and residents reported hearing explosions

On October 26, according to the Jerusalem Post, an earthquake alarm sounded in several cities in northern Israel on Saturday morning. The Israeli army later said it was a false alarm and is investigating whether the alarm was caused by a technical failure. According to media reports, the "Golan Regional Council" later claimed that citizens heard a loud explosion from Lebanon and said the alarm may have been triggered by a pre-emptive strike by the Israeli army on Hezbollah's weapons factories.
