Hezbollah launched at least four drones at northern Israel a short while ago, the military says.

According to the IDF, the Israeli Air Force shot down two drones launched from Lebanon which had triggered sirens in the Galilee Panhandle and Golan Heights.

The drones did not cross into Israeli territory, and the sirens sounded unnecessarily, the military says, adding that the incident is under further investigation.

A short while later, two more suspected drones launched from Lebanon were intercepted before crossing into Israeli territory, the military says. No sirens had sounded.

Additionally, the IDF says it launched interceptor missiles following alerts of rocket fire in the Kiryat Shmona area. The results of the interceptions are under review, and the incident is under further investigation, the IDF adds.
