Israel says reports of drone infiltration from Lebanon or Syria are false

Reports that a drone may have crossed into Israel from Lebanon or Syria turned out to be "false," the Israeli army said on Tuesday.

“There are reports of a suspected aerial violation over the Golan and the Upper Galilee and our aircraft are monitoring the area,” the army had said earlier.

“The Israeli army said there is suspicion of a security incident in the Golan and on the eastern sector facing Lebanon, asking residents to enter shelters,” Al-Jazeera television reported.

Hezbollah's al-Manar television meanwhile said that the alert was triggered by a small drone launched by an Israeli.
