The IDF says a drone launched at Israel “from the east,” usually code for Iraq, was intercepted by air defenses over southern Israel.

Footage posted to social media showed a cloud of smoke above a Bezeq antenna farm near Rehovot, apparently following the interception.

There are no reports of injuries or major damage.
