The Israeli air force intercepted a drone launched from Yemen by the Houthis (Ansarallah) over southern Israel, the army reported on Friday.
Air raid sirens rang out in several communities near the Gaza and Egyptian borders as the drone was tracked, the military stated, claiming that multiple interception attempts were made before finally downing the aircraft.
