IDF says ‘suspicious aerial target from the east’ entered Israel, after sirens sound in south

The Israel Defense Forces says it identified “a suspicious aerial target that crossed [into Israeli territory] from the east,” a term it has previously used to refer to attacks from Iraq.

The IDF adds that it’s looking into the matter, without specifying whether the suspected drone was downed.

The statement from the military comes shortly after sirens were activated in two southern communities near the Jordanian border, and as air raid alerts are now being activated further to the west in the Negev mountains area.
