The area's sirens were activated after a drone crossed over from Lebanon into Israel, according to an update from the army’s Twitter account.
Israel’s Iron Dome defense system was also activated in response to the incident, and interceptors were launched, but they failed to intercept the drone.
The country’s military additionally scrambled its fighter jets and helicopters in order to patrol the area.
“After a few minutes, radar contact was lost with the aircraft,” Israel’s army said.
Later on Thursday, the military reported that the drone traveled back to where it came from.
