IDF says it intercepted drone ‘from the east’ as Iraqi militia claims attack on southern Israel
The IDF says that it intercepted a drone “launched from the east,” a term used to refer to Iraq.
No air raid sirens were activated before the interception, which an IDF statement says was “in accordance with protocol.”
The statement from the military comes shortly after the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an Iran-backed militia network, claimed an attack on southern Israel.
Harris: There’s been progress in Gaza talks but it’s ‘meaningless’ unless deal reached

The full interview with Harris, who faces Donald Trump in next month’s presidential election, will air during Tuesday night’s edition of the program.
“We must have a ceasefire and a hostage deal as immediately as possible,” she says.
