The IDF confirms that it shot down an apparent Hezbollah drone over the Lower Galilee a short while ago.
The device had entered Israeli airspace from Lebanon, but the IDF says that drone infiltration sirens did not sound “according to protocol.”
It was shot down by air defenses in an area that houses a major factory belonging to the Rafael defense contractor.
Rocket sirens had sounded in several towns near Sakhnin, some 25 kilometers from the Lebanon border, over fears of falling shrapnel following the interception, the IDF says.
