IDF: Patriot missiles shot toward drone

The Israeli army confirms that two Patriot missiles were shot “toward a drone which infiltrated Israeli airspace.”

The IDF says in a statement the drone came from Syria.

Patriot missiles are often used to shoot down UAVs and the army considers the US-made system to be “very efficient when dealing with UAV penetration,” according to a press release from 2015.
