The Jerusalem Post reports: The IDF fired two Patriot Missiles at a drone that reportedly crossed into Israeli airspace from Syria on Sunday afternoon.

There was no known impact of projectiles in Israeli territory. It was also not initially confirmed whether the Patriot Missiles struck the drone.

The Jerusalem Post‘s sister publication Ma’ariv has reported a heavy presence of IDF aircraft in airspace above the Golan Heights following the launches.

Residents in the north reported hearing multiple explosions, however there were reportedly no rockets launched towards Israeli territory, meaning the noise was likely related only to the Patriot Missiles.
