An unidentified flying object over the Golan Heights turned out to be a terrorist drone. Arutz Sheva reports that the drone - claimed by Hezbollah - was fired on by the IDF:

A Code Red siren was recently heard in several Golan Heights communities, after an unidentified aircraft was spotted in the area.

IDF forces quickly responded with two Patriot missiles at a Syrian drone.

"Moments ago two Patriot air defense missiles were fired towards a drone which infiltrated Israeli airspace from Syria," said an IDF spokesperson. However, the military was unable to confirm that the missiles struck the drone.
