Report: IDF shoots down Gaza drone over Ashdod - UPDATED
I don't have any details of this report yet other than the 7:33 am news item here. Haaretz also tweeted it, and retweeted someone else who reported it just before them.Apparently, however, Hamas tried sending a drone over Ashdod and the IDF shot it down. I also saw that the 'Code Red' rocket alarm was employed to get people off the streets while the drone was being shot down.
UPDATE 7:46 AM
Here's some more detail. Avital Leibovich is a former IDF spokeswoman.
