A drone launched at Israel “from the east” was intercepted by the Israeli Air Force earlier this evening, the military says.
According to the IDF, the drone was shot down before crossing into Israel, and therefore no sirens sounded, “according to protocol.”
The drone was likely launched from Yemen by the Iran-backed Houthis.
