(JNS) A terrorist drone managed on Wednesday, June 19 to infiltrate Israel from the Gaza Strip for the first time since November, according to the IDF.
“A short time ago, a suspicious aerial target crossed [into Israel] from the territory of the Gaza Strip” and fell in an open area near the border, said the IDF. The drone set off air raid sirens in the towns of Kibbutz Holit, Nir Yitzhak and Sufa.
The Eshkol Regional Council, which administers the area, said the incident took place around 6 a.m. It claimed the drone was shot down, and no injuries or damages were reported.
The last time a terrorist UAV successfully infiltrated Israeli airspace from the Strip was on Nov. 11, according to IDF data. That drone was also intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome.
