Following sirens in the early hours of Saturday morning, a drone launched from the east was detected crashing into the Golan Heights, the IDF reported.

The military noted that the drone had crossed into Israel from Syria, and no injuries were reported as a result of the crash.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq subsequently claimed that it launched drones at northern Israel and vowed further escalation.
