On February 9, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said that a “suspicious aerial target” was intercepted over the sea near the northern city of Haifa.
The aerial target was shot down using the Iron Dome air defense system, the IDF said in a brief statement, noting that no sirens were sounded according to protocol.
A video that surfaced on social media showed the launch of an interceptor missile from an area located near Haifa’s port towards the sea.
Later, suspected drone infiltration alarms sounded in the Upper Galilee, which is located a few kilometers away from the territory of Lebanon and Syria, according to Hebrew media. No blasts or interceptions were reported, however.
The aerial target shot down by the IDF near Haifa may have been a drone launched from Lebanon by Hezbollah on an attack or a reconnaissance mission.
Another possibility is that the target was a drone or a cruise missile launched by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a coalition of armed factions that opposes Israel. The group announced attacks on targets in Haifa and a gas rig off Israeli shores in the past.
The IDF have intercepted dozens of aerial targets over northern and southern Israel since the outbreak of the war in the Palestinian Gaza Strip. These incidents highlight the war -which has so far claimed the lives of 27,000 Palestinians- have only increased threats to Israel.
as useless idiot i never target
oof… they are even getting attack in haifa now lmfao. haifa is the 2nd most important zionist city/settlement.
“ministry of defense: at approximately 14:10 this afternoon, two drones violated syrian airspace from the direction of the occupied syrian golan. our air defense forces responded to them and shot them down west of damascus.”
ahhh drones..? when was the last time zionist sent a drone into syria?
their drones and jets can be shot down by s-200 even… did they forgot that in 2018 syria s-200 shot down one of their f-16 sufa warplane again? lmfao… i wait for more info maybe it is something else.
no wtf… they really sent drones into syria… are they rtded?
rtds you lost one of your f-16 that was flying over occupied palestine… it got shot down by s-200… why would you sent two drones into syria… most of your missiles get shot down. what the fuk are they doing?
“the downing of israeli uavs by syrian air defense forces most likely means that the zionists were conducting reconnaissance of the air defense system west of damascus. therefore, airstrikes can be expected in the near future.”
