The IDF says a “suspicious aerial target” that was heading toward Israeli airspace from Lebanon was downed by a fighter jet a short while ago.

Amid the incident, suspected drone infiltration alarms sounded in the Upper Galilee.

The target was shot down over Lebanon.

Earlier, several rockets were fired from Lebanon at northern Israel, landing in open areas near Hanita, according to the IDF.

There are no reports of damage or injuries.
