IDF Says It Shot Down Cruise Missile Over Northern Israel

The Israeli military shot down a cruise missile headed for the southern Golan Heights in northern Israel, a spokesman for the IDF said Thursday. The IDF described the missile as coming “from the east,” a phrase it has used in the past to refer to attacks fired from Iraq, the Times of Israel reported, although no one has yet claimed responsibility. The missile was intercepted without incident; no injuries or damage to property were reported, although the missile’s flight set off sirens in northern Israel.
