The IDF launched interceptors at a UAV from Iraq that was detected crossing from Syria into Israeli territory, the military stated on Sunday.

Alarms were sounded in the Beit She'an Valley and the southern Golan areas, and no injuries were reported. 

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq terrorist group said on Sunday evening it had launched a drone attack at a target in the Jordan Valley.

No injuries have been reported.

Iraqi terrorists claim responsibility

A Ynet report noted that at least one of the drones crossed from Syrian territory. The IDF is investigating whether the drone was launched from Iraq.

The Iraqi terrorist group fired the drones aimed at a "target in the Jordan Valley."

The drones followed approximately 150 rockets that were fired at the area, which wounded three people from shrapnel.
