Overnight, Israeli fighter jets shot down a drone making its way toward Israel from the east, the military says.
The IDF says the drone was tracked throughout the incident, and no sirens sounded in Israel as there was no threat to civilians.
Drones have been launched at Israel by an Iran-backed group in Iraq several times amid the war in Gaza.
