An Israeli Air Force fighter jet identified and intercepted an unmanned aerial vehicle launched from Iran before it crossed into Israeli territory, according to military footage released on Saturday.

Since the start of “Operation Roaring Lion” on Feb. 28, more than 110 drones launched from the Islamic Republic have been intercepted.

“The Air Force continues to eliminate threats to the citizens of the State of Israel while deepening the damage to all elements of the Iranian terrorist regime,” the statement added.

The trip underscores Israel’s growing diplomatic outreach in Latin America, the President’s Office said.
Sir Mark Rowley, head of the Metropolitan Police, requested an additional 300 officers to defend the community.
Troops opened fire to remove the danger. Several hits were reported.
The letter, whose author claimed to “work with Hezbollah,” ended with the words: “Kill and fumigate all Jews.”
The search is on-going, U.S. Africa Command said.
“This is not a protest. It is hatred,” said Israel’s Foreign Ministry.
