The Israeli Air Force on Tuesday afternoon intercepted a UAV launched “from the east,” the military said.

No sirens were activated, in accordance with protocol, according to the Israel Defense Forces.

Local media reports said that the IDF was checking to see if the drone was launched from Yemen. “From the east” generally refers to the Iran-backed Houthi terror group in Yemen or Iranian-aligned terrorists in Iraq.
