Rare drone alert sounds in Jordan Valley, army investigating

The military says it is investigating moments after drone alert sirens were activated in the Jordan Valley, an area that has seen few attacks from Lebanon, Gaza or elsewhere.

The Home Front Command gives the all-clear after the drone alarms ring in the West Bank settlements of Mehola and Shadmot Mehola, south of the city of Beit Shean.

The siren comes a short while after Iraq’s Iran-backed Popular Resistance Committees claimed to have launched a drone at a sensitive military site in the Golan Heights.

Earlier, the army said a drone fired from Iraq was downed over Syria.
