What Really Happened?

False Alarm in Jerusalem

At 1:00 p.m. a rocket alert siren sounded in Jerusalem, Beit Shemesh and Maaleh Adumim. The siren caused mild panic, and hundreds of residents called MDA paramedics for instructions.

Home Front Command officials said the alarm was caused by a technical malfunction. No actual attack took place, and no trial of the system had been scheduled.

Some residents of Beit Shemesh reported hearing an explosion following the alarm. Defense officials conducted a brief investigation and determined that the noise did not result from an attack, but rather was related to ongoing work in the area.


Maale Adumim, Jerusalem, impact near Beit Shemesh? A trajectory coming from the East? Did anyone see anything airborne? How 'coincidental' that an explosion "related to ongoing work" just happened to be heard when an air raid siren was in progress.

Maybe we're not really hearing about what's really going on.
