A drone fell near the home of National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir on Saturday evening, according to his office. The IDF collected the drone; no injuries were reported. The circumstances are under investigation.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir's office confirmed Saturday evening that a drone fell near his home in Hebron. The IDF secured the device and took it for examination; no injuries or damage were reported. The incident has since been updated: Kan News reported that the drone was carrying a letter in Arabic – a detail the minister's office did not address in its official statement. The circumstances remain under investigation.
The Zioneer's thread on this incident shows rapid updates from initial reports at 22:13 Jerusalem. The first version simply noted the drone fall and investigation. Minutes later, security forces confirmed the drone was collected and posed no threat. The latest update, also at 22:13, added that the drone was carrying a letter in Arabic, per Kan News. The source of the letter and its contents have not been independently verified.
As The Zioneer previously reported, drone incursions have occurred in Israel and the region. On June 14, a drone fell in northern Israel without causing casualties. Other incidents have involved drones near sensitive sites, though none have been directly linked to this event.
What remains unclear: the origin of the drone, who launched it, and whether the letter carried a specific message. The investigation is ongoing, and no further details have been released by the minister's office or the IDF.
