Zar'it and Shomera alarmed by false hostile aircraft alert
World
People in Zar'it and Shomera were on edge this week after an alarm warned of a "hostile aircraft" near the Lebanon border.
The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) quickly cleared things up, saying it was a false alarm, a mix-up, and not an actual threat.
Still, the scare comes as tensions are running high, especially after a recent hijacking attempt on a flydubai flight.
Israel mandates 48-hour crew disclosures
After the September hijack attempt, where a co-pilot attacked his captain but was stopped by crew and passengers, Israel has stepped up airport security.
Now, airlines have to share detailed crew information 48 hours before flights so authorities can run background checks and keep things safer for everyone.
