A “suspicious aerial target” — thought to be a cruise missile or a drone — that was heading toward Israel from the direction of Syria was shot down, the IDF says.

The target was intercepted over Syrian airspace, according to the IDF.

The IDF does not immediately elaborate on what methods were used to shoot the projectile down.

Suspected drone infiltration alarms sounded in the southern Golan Heights amid the incident.
