Two drones launched at Israel “from the east,” usually code for Iraq, were shot down by the Israeli Air Force a short while ago, the military says.

According to the IDF, the drones were intercepted before entering Israeli airspace.

Residents of the Jerusalem area reported hearing intense fighter jet activity around the time of the incident.

Warnings were activated in the Dead Sea region, the army says.
