Early Tuesday morning, The Israeli military shot down a drone approaching the northern city of Beit She’an.

The military is investigating whether the unmanned aerial vehicle was launched from Jordan or Syria. Late Monday evening, six rockets were fired from southern Lebanon toward Israel.

According to Jerusalem, five of the projectiles, which Palestinian factions were thought to have launched, failed to travel the distance and exploded in Lebanese territory. Israel responded with artillery fire, and bomb shelters were opened across the country’s northern border towns.

On Friday, several Lebanese citizens broke through the border fence and entered Israel, only to be pushed back by Israeli tank fire. One Hizbullah operative was reportedly killed in the incident.
