A drone launched at Israel “from the east” was intercepted by the Israeli Air Force over southern Israel a short while ago, the military says.
There are no injuries in the incident, and sirens did not sound in any towns. The IDF says alerts were activated in relevant areas “according to protocol.”
The IDF has described past attacks from Yemen and Iraq as being launched from the east.
In recent days, the Iran-backed Houthis have carried out several drone and ballistic missile attacks on Israel.
