Israel army says intercepts ‘aerial target’ approaching from Syria

The Israeli military said it had intercepted a suspicious “aerial target” approaching from Syria on Friday, which a war monitor said was a drone

“A short while ago, a suspicious aerial target that approached Israeli territory from Syria was intercepted by the IAF (air force)… before it crossed into Israeli territory,” the military said in a statement.

The monitor said the drone was launched by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq group.

“Israeli air defences in the occupied Syrian Golan targeted two drones launched by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, coming from Iraq through Syrian territory,” the war monitor said in a statement.
