IDF: Air defenses downed ‘suspicious aerial target’ over Lebanon
The IDF says air defenses successfully intercepted a “suspicious aerial target” in the skies of Lebanon a short while ago.
The target, likely a drone, did not enter Israel territory so no alarms were triggered in the incident.
Earlier this morning, the military said fighter jets had successfully downed another “suspicious aerial target” that was heading towards Israel over the Red Sea.
Since October 8, Iran-backed forces including Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen have attacked Israeli communities and military posts on a near-daily with missiles and drones, in what they say is a solidarity campaign in support of Gaza amid the war there.
