This morning, the IDF says it located a Hezbollah drone that was launched at Israel last night.

The Israeli Air Force had been tracking the drone from Rosh Hanikra on the Lebanon border but lost contact with it in the Yokne’am area amid attempts to intercept it.

According to an initial IDF probe, the drone was successfully downed near Yokne’am, and it crashed in an open area.

Sirens had sounded in numerous towns amid the incident, including after the drone had gone missing, based on the predicted southbound trajectory of the drone.
