The IDF on Sunday morning announced that it had successfully intercepted a drone flying from Gaza toward Israeli territory.
According to the IDF, Israeli Air Force systems monitored the UAV from its takeoff, and the UAV did not cross into Israeli territory.
The IDF added that UAV “did not pose a threat to residents of southern Israel.” As such, no alert systems were activated.
The incident follows a string of similar incidents in recent months during which the IDF has shot down drones emanating from Gaza.
Earlier this month, the Israeli Defense Ministry announced that Israeli authorities had thwarted an attempt to smuggle 10 reconnaissance drones into Gaza.
The ministry said the drones were being delivered to Gaza terror groups and were being hidden inside a bag on a minibus at the Erez border crossing along the northern Gaza Strip.
The drones were identified when a trained guard dog identified a suspicious package inside the bag and signaled to its handlers by sitting on top of the bag.
