BREAKING: Israel intercepts drone from Iraq
This is a developing situation.


A drone launched "from the east" - military terminology often indicating Iraq - was successfully intercepted over southern Israel, the IDF announced. The incident marks another expansion of the current conflict beyond Israel's immediate borders.
The interception occurred near critical communications infrastructure, with witnesses documenting smoke above Bezeq's antenna farm in the Rechovot area. Emergency services reported no casualties or major damage from the incident.
The phrase "from the east" typically serves as diplomatic code for Iraqi territory, where Iranian-backed militias maintain significant presence. This incident follows a pattern of increasing regional involvement in the current conflict.
