The Israeli Air Force intercepted a UAV that crossed from Lebanon into Israeli territory in the Galilee Panhandle, the military said. Rocket and missile alerts were triggered by the interception attempts. No casualties have been reported.
At 09:11, the IDF reported that a UAV crossed from Lebanon into Israeli airspace in the Finger of the Galilee (Etzba HaGalil) and was intercepted by the IAF. Rocket and missile alerts were activated as a result of the interception attempts, a standard protocol to protect civilians from falling debris from the engagement. The interception follows a pattern of drone infiltrations from Lebanon into the northern border area this week. As The Zioneer reported at 08:46, a drone alert was triggered earlier in the same region, and at 09:09 the military confirmed an interception near Metula and Misgav Am — the current bulletin updates that previous report with confirmation that the UAV crossed from Lebanon. The military has not identified the origin or type of the UAV. No casualties or damage have been reported.
