The Israeli military said in a statement that its air defence forces successfully shot down the object after it was identified in the skies east of the Sea of ​​Galilee, Al Jazeera reports.

The statement came after air raid sirens were activated in the region.

Israel’s Ynet News reported that the drone entered Israeli territory from Syria, while The Times of Israel said “the suspected attack occurred near the Sea of Galilee, near the borders with Jordan and Syria, and far south of the area normally targeted by Lebanon-based Hezbollah”.
