A suspected Hezbollah drone launched from Lebanon triggered sirens in the Western Galilee a short while ago.

The IDF says it lost contact with the “suspicious aerial target,” indicating it crashed somewhere.

A siren that sounded in the town of Arab al-Aramshe, warning of rocket fire, was activated due to fears of falling fragments following attempts to intercept the drone, according to he military.

Additional sirens warning of a drone attack in the Western Galilee that were activated several minutes later were false alarms, the IDF adds.
