An Israeli Navy missile boat intercepted a drone in the Mediterranean Sea a short while ago, the military says.
According to the IDF, the drone was heading toward Israel and had been launched from “the east,” usually code for attacks from Iraq.
No sirens were activated according to protocol, the military adds.
Overnight, another suspected drone heading toward Israel from Iraq was shot down by the Israeli Air Force.
