Another two “suspicious aerial targets” were successfully intercepted by air defenses over the sea, off the coast of Acre, the IDF says.
The suspected drones set off sirens in numerous communities in the Acre and Krayot area, just north of Haifa.
A rocket siren that sounded in Acre amid the incident was due to fears of falling shrapnel, the military says.
A short while before the two targets were intercepted, another suspected drone was shot down by air defenses off the coast of Nahariya.
