After drone alert, army says it shot down suspicious object, reportedly from Syria
The Israel Defense Forces confirms that it intercepted a “suspicious object” after drone alert sirens sounded in the southern Golan Heights.
The army says the object was successfully shot down “after being identified in the [air]space.”
According to Army Radio, military officials believe the object was launched from Syria, a fairly rare occurrence.
The suspected attack occurred near the Sea of Galilee, near the borders with Jordan and Syria, and far south of the area normally targeted by Lebanon-based Hezbollah.
