A drone that entered Israeli airspace from the eastern direction impacted in the Arava desert, according to the IDF.

The military says there are no injuries in the attack.  It does not detail if any damage was caused.

Sirens had sounded in the Jordan border community of Sapir amid the incident.

The Iran-backed Islamic Resistance in Iraq takes responsibility for the drone attack, saying it launched it at a “target” in the Jordan Valley.
