The Israel Defense Forces says the aerial target intercepted by the Patriot air defense system near the southernmost city of Eilat last night was a drone.
It says the hostile unmanned aerial vehicle was downed before it could enter Israeli airspace.
The IDF publishes a video of the interception.
The UAV was intercepted hours after another drone hit a school in Eilat, causing damage.
