A drone intercepted by an Israeli fighter jet early this morning near the Sea of Galilee had been launched from Iraq, the IDF says.

Sirens had sounded in Tiberias and several other communities.

Separately, the IDF says a drone launched from Lebanon was shot down by air defenses over the sea near Rosh Hanikra.

Sirens this morning in Metula and Upper Galilee were false alarms, the military adds.
