A suspected drone that entered Israeli airspace from Lebanon was shot down by air defenses over the Bar’am area on the border, the IDF says.

Sirens had sounded in the Upper Galilee amid fears of falling shrapnel.

Separately, another suspected drone was shot down by air defenses over the sea just off the coast of Nahariya, the IDF says.

There are no injuries in the incidents.
