The IDF says it identified a suspected drone launched “from the east,” usually code for Iraq, that crossed into Israeli airspace in southern Israel.

The suspected drone set off sirens in Mitzpe Ramon.

The military says the incident is over, without elaborating further.

The drone possibly crashed in an open area, although this is still under investigation.

There have been no reports of injuries or damage.
