IDF probing failure to intercept drones that exploded in Golan; projectile fired from Lebanon strikes Metula

Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent

Two explosive-laden drones launched from Lebanon struck an area in the northern Golan Heights earlier today, the military says.

The IDF says it is investigating why it failed to intercept the two drones. There were no injuries in the attack, which set off drone sirens in two communities in the Golan.

Also earlier today, the IDF says a projectile launched from Lebanon struck the Metula area, causing no damage or injuries. Troops shelled the launch site in response, the military says.

Suspected drone infiltration sirens that sounded a short while ago in the Galilee Panhandle and an hour ago in the Golan Heights were false alarms, the IDF adds.
