The IDF says a drone launched from Lebanon an hour ago likely impacted an open area, although it has still not located it.

According to the military, the drone was first spotted near Rosh Hanikra, and it was tracked as it flew toward the Yokne’am area, amid attempts to intercept it.

From there, the Israeli Air Force lost contact with the drone, but the Home Front Command continued to activate sirens in several towns based on the predicted route of the drone.

The Home Front Command has since given an all-clear.

“Efforts are ongoing to locate the drone, which apparently fell in an open area,” the IDF adds.
