Sirens warning of a hostile aircraft infiltration blared early Wednesday morning around 12:20 a.m. in the Arava (Jordan Valley) region, causing alarm among residents. The Home Front Command swiftly declared the situation resolved shortly afterward.
The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit reported that a UAV had been detected approaching from the east, with its crash site identified in the area. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
Pro-Iranian militias in Iraq later claimed responsibility for launching the drone, stating that it was aimed at "a target near the Jordan Valley."
