Two Patriot missiles were launched at a drone that penetrated Israeli territory in the central Golan Heights from Syria. An air force aircraft also launched a missile at the drone.

Despite the initial assessment that the missiles hit their target, it turns out that all the missiles missed the drone, and it flew back into Syrian airspace.

Fragments of the Patriot missile landed near Kibbutz Ayelet Hashachar, starting a fire, and hitting a 14-year-old girl.

The event was preceded with alert sirens in the Golan Heights and in Tsfat at 5:04 PM.
