Overnight, a drone heading toward Israel from the eastern direction was shot down by air defenses, the IDF says.

The military says the drone did not enter Israeli airspace.

The Iran-backed Islamic Resistance in Iraq claimed responsibility for launching a drone at Haifa.

Meanwhile, Israeli fighter jets struck a Hezbollah rocket launcher in southern Lebanon’s Zibqin, used in a previous attack on Israel, the IDF says.

Buildings used by Hezbollah in Khiam and Ayta ash-Shab were also struck, the military adds.

It publishes footage of the strikes.
