The Israeli army said Saturday that aerial defense systems intercepted a surface-to-air missile launched from Lebanon.
A statement said the missile targeted an Israeli drone, with sirens going off in northern Israel due to the launch of interceptor missiles.
Three Israelis were injured by rocket fire from southern Lebanon into the Upper Galilee in northern Israel on Friday, according to the army.
Tension has flared up along the Israel-Lebanon border amid intermittent exchange of fire between Israeli forces and Hezbollah.
The escalation comes as Israel widened its air and ground operations in the Gaza Strip following a cross-border attack on Oct. 7 by the Palestinian resistance group, Hamas, on Israeli border towns.
