The so-called Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group for pro-Iran militias in the country, claims responsibility for launching a drone at the Golan Heights this evening.
Earlier, a suspected drone infiltration alarm sounded in the Israeli communities of Keshet and Katzrin.
A military spokesperson tells The Times of Israel that one “aerial target” was intercepted by a fighter jet.
There are no reports of injuries or damage in the attack.
Tonight’s incident marks at least the third drone attack on Israel carried out by the Iran-backed Iraqi militia amid the war in the Gaza Strip.
