Israel says it intercepted drone near Jordan border

The Israeli military said Tuesday that its air force intercepted an unmanned aircraft near the Jordanian border and was investigating where it had been launched from.

The military said the drone did not cross into Israeli territory. It gave no details in the supplied statement about damage or casualties.

Jordan has been repeatedly targeted since war resumed between Iran and the United States earlier this month, while Israel has not taken part in the latest round of fighting. In a separate incident early Tuesday, the Israeli military said air sirens near Kissufim, next to the Gaza Strip, sounded because of a false identification.
