Police say they discovered a suspicious object in an open area near Kiryat Shmona that they believe to have been left over from the war with Hezbollah on the northern border.

Hebrew outlet reports that the object is a wing from a drone presumably downed during the hostilities.

Law enforcement closed a section of Route 90 near Kiryat Shmona to traffic in both directions as police sappers neutralize the device. The road has since been reopened.

For months since October 8, 2023, Hezbollah-led forces attacked Israeli communities and military posts along the border on a near-daily basis, with the terror group saying it was doing so to support Gaza amid the war there. Hostilities largely ended with a November ceasefire.
