An Israeli Air Force fighter jet shot down a “suspicious aerial target” — believed to be a drone — that entered Israeli airspace from Syria on Tuesday morning, the Israel Defense Forces said.
No further details were given, and it was unclear who was behind the apparent attack.
Amid the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip, there have been several drone attacks on Israel launched by Iran-backed militias from Syria and Iraq, in addition to the hundreds of attacks carried out by Lebanon’s Hezbollah terror group.
Hezbollah on Monday night fired a barrage of rockets at northern Israel, resulting in damage that knocked out power in several towns, as the military struck targets in Lebanon following a deadly cross-border attack by the terror group earlier in the day.
Since October 8, Hezbollah-led forces have attacked Israeli communities and military posts along the border with rockets, missiles, and drones on a near-daily basis, with the group saying it is doing so to support Gaza amid the war there.
So far, the skirmishes on the border have resulted in seven civilian deaths on the Israeli side, as well as the deaths of 10 IDF soldiers and reservists. Attacks from Syria and Iraq have not caused any injuries.
Hezbollah has named 232 members who have been killed by Israel during the ongoing skirmishes, mostly in Lebanon but some also in Syria. In Lebanon, another 37 operatives from other terror groups, a Lebanese soldier, and at least 30 civilians, three of whom were journalists, have been killed.
