Confusion followed air raid sirens in Jerusalem as Iran claimed it targeted Israel’s prime minister — but residents saw no evidence of any strike.
People living near the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reported no signs of missile impact on Monday despite Tehran’s claim that the building had been targeted.
Air raid sirens sounded around noon across Jerusalem and parts of central and southern Israel, triggering alerts and public concern. However, local police and rescue services later confirmed there were no reported hits, injuries, damage, or interceptions over the city.
Residents near the prime minister’s office said normal activities continued, with traffic flowing as usual and no smoke, explosions, or emergency response teams visible around the compound. Reporters at the scene also observed the building intact and undamaged.
The prime minister’s office did not immediately comment on the Iranian claim, while Israeli media analysts quickly dismissed the report. Channel 12 political analyst Amit Segal described it as “fake news,” a view echoed by Kan’s diplomatic correspondent Suleiman Maswadeh, who said the claim lacked verification.
The incident adds to growing information warfare and competing narratives amid escalating regional tensions.
