The Israeli Air Force intercepted a suspicious aerial target that was spotted in an area where Israeli troops operate in southern Lebanon, the military said. The interception followed sirens activated in the northern border community of Shlomi.
The IDF said it intercepted a suspected drone over a sector of southern Lebanon where Israeli ground troops are presently operating. The incident began with sirens in the coastal border town of Shlomi triggered by a suspicious aerial target, the military confirmed. The interception occurred several hours after the IDF reported striking Hezbollah launchers and drone infrastructure in Tyre overnight — part of ongoing operations to suppress the group's ability to threaten Israeli forces and communities near the border. Earlier this morning, sirens also sounded in several Upper Galilee communities; no interceptions were reported at that time. The current event marks the resumption of aerial threats in the Shlomi sector after a relatively quiet period.
