The Israeli army fired a Patriot missile at an unmanned aerial vehicle that approached Israel from Syria
The Israeli army fired a Patriot missile at an unmanned aerial vehicle that approached Israel from Syria on Sunday. As a result of the launch, the drone moved away from the border. The army said it could not verify whether the target was hit. “We will not allow violation of our aerial sovereignty,” the military said in a statement.
A commander in the regional alliance backing Syrian President Bashar Assad said the drone was engaged in operations in southern Syria when it was targeted by an Israeli anti-aircraft missile. The bombings were supported by Russian aircraft, marking the first time in a while that Russian aircraft attacked targets so vigorously in southern Syria. Aa a result, it is likely that the Israeli side of the border will likely remain particularly alert.
