IAF intercepts drone that crossed into Israel's North, Home Front Command says incident concluded

The Israel Air Force (IAF) intercepted one drone and received reports regarding additional fallen drones, the military announced on Wednesday evening. 

One drone was intercepted in the area of Ya’ara, and two other crashes were identified. There were no reports of casualties, the military said. 

This report follows an earlier announcement by the IDF that at least one drone had crossed from Lebanon into Israeli territory, triggering drone sirens in the area of Haifa and Nahariya. 

The IAF conducted several interception attempts, and sirens were sounded due to the possibility of fallen shrapnel from the interceptors. 

Two people were lightly wounded while on the way to a shelter in the Hadera area, Magen-David Adom (MDA) stated. 

The Home Front Command announced that as of 6:30 p.m., the incident involving the drones from Lebanon had ended. 

Police conducted searches in Nahariya to locate crash sites, the Israel Police stated.
