The Israel Defense Forces says a drone heading toward Israeli airspace was intercepted by the Iron Dome over the Lebanon border earlier today.
The IDF says no sirens sounded in the incident as no towns were under any threat.
The incident comes as Hezbollah launched six anti-tank guided missiles at Israeli towns and military posts along the border, and two rockets were also fired at northern Israel today.
