Drone that traversed country is shot down, IDF says
Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent
A suspected drone launched at Israel “from the east,” which set off sirens across northern Israel, was shot down by the Israeli Air Force a short while ago, the IDF says.
Drone alerts were first activated in the Beit She’an area near the border with Jordan and over the following 19 minutes the drone gradually moved west to the coastal city of Caesarea some 64 kilometers (40 miles) away.
The military says the sirens were activated “according to protocol.”
