News 12 and "Israel Hayom" journalist Amit Segal posted on Telegram that an attempted Palestinian rocket launch in the West Bank was foiled. Segal relied on a post by News 12's military correspondent, Nitzan Shapira, about a "worrying escalation in Judea and Samaria." 25 minutes later Segal wrote: "After Checking, it appears that this was a plastic pipe with a propeller attached to it - and there was no explosive in it."
