A total of three drones launched by the Houthis in Yemen were shot down by the Israeli Air Force over southern Israel within a half an hour, the military says.
One of the drones set off sirens in the southern city of Dimona and the nearby area.
The military says that drone was successfully downed, along with a second drone that did not set off any sirens “according to protocol.”
Shortly before that, another Houthi drone was intercepted by the IAF near Ramon Airport, the military says.
