The Israeli Air Force is tracking a “suspicious aerial target” that was identified in Israeli airspace a short while ago, setting off drone alerts in northern Israel, the military says.

“The target is being tracked by the air force and the event is still ongoing,” the IDF says.

The drone alerts were first activated in the Beit She’an area on the border with Jordan, before the drone traveled west and reached the coastal city of Caesarea some 64 kilometers (40 miles) away.
