Golan sirens caused by drone from Syria entering Israeli airspace
A first official statement comes from authorities about the missile defense sirens heard a short time ago on the Golan Heights.
An unmanned aerial vehicle penetrated Israeli airspace over the northern Golan before it was shot down, the Golan regional council tells residents in a message.
The Israeli missile that intercepted the drone is what appears to have set off the incoming rocket alert system, the local government says.
Golan residents are clear to come out of their bomb shelters.
