A drone launched at Israel “from the east,” was intercepted by Israeli air defenses a short while ago, the military says.

The drone was likely launched from Yemen, according to initial military assessments.

Sirens were not activated in any towns.

The drone was shot down over the Aravah area in southern Israel.
