Two drones suspected to be from Iran were intercepted by Israeli fighter jets outside the country's airspace on Tuesday evening, according to the Israeli military.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced that the Israeli Air Force (IAF) successfully intercepted two unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that were approaching Israeli territory, likely launched from Iran. The drones were identified and neutralised outside Israeli airspace, the IDF said in a statement.
"Earlier this evening, two UAVs that were approaching Israeli territory most likely from Iran were intercepted by the IAF. The interceptions occurred outside of Israeli territory," the military confirmed.
In line with standard security procedures, alert sirens were triggered in open areas, although no damage or injuries have been reported.
Meanwhile, three Iranian news outlets reported that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) denied any drone attack in the northwestern city of Tabriz. The denial followed local reports suggesting air defence systems had been activated in the area.
The incident marks another episode in heightened tensions between Iran and Israel, amid a broader regional escalation involving UAV and missile threats. The IDF did not disclose the specific location of the interceptions or the exact type of drones involved.
Military officials stated that they remain on high alert and are monitoring any further threats that may emerge in the region.
