IDF says it intercepted drone ‘from the east’ as Iraqi militia claims attack on southern Israel
The IDF says that it intercepted a drone “launched from the east,” a term used to refer to Iraq.
No air raid sirens were activated before the interception, which an IDF statement says was “in accordance with protocol.”
The statement from the military comes shortly after the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an Iran-backed militia network, claimed an attack on southern Israel.
