In the Hadashot Online channel, which maintains an editorial line supporting the Israeli government and an assertive security policy, they noted that "a short time ago, central region residents reported an explosion and heavy aerial noise," and added that it is a "fighter jet that flew at a very low altitude in the skies of the center."
The channel Hadashot Israel | Lelo Tzenzura - Kol HaHadashot🇮🇱 also joined the reports, emphasizing that it was a "loud explosion, likely as a result of aircraft flying at a very low altitude."
As of this hour, no official announcement has been issued by the IDF Spokesperson regarding the purpose of the flight or the reason for the operational coordination that caused the creation of sonic booms or the unusual noise over the populated area.
