The Israeli Air Force intercepted an unmanned aerial vehicle near the border with Jordan early Tuesday, the second such incident in two days, the IDF confirmed. The interception comes just hours after the IDF downed a drone on the same border earlier Tuesday, as The Zioneer reported. The Jordanian military also intercepted a drone in its eastern desert shortly after that incident.
The repeated interceptions highlight ongoing security challenges along Israel's eastern border, where drone incursions have been reported in recent days. No casualties or damage were reported in either incident.
