The Israeli Air Force intercepted an unmanned aerial vehicle detected near the border with Jordan early on Tuesday, the Israel Defense Forces said.

The UAV did not cross into Israeli territory. The military said it was investigating where the drone was launched from. No air-raid sirens were sounded "in accordance with protocol," The IDF stated.

The incident marked the second such occurrence in two days. On Monday, the IDF downed two drones near the Jordanian border, neither of which entered Israeli territory. The military has not identified the source of any of the aircraft.

A Jordanian military official separately told Petra News Agency on Monday that Royal Jordanian Air Force aircraft had shot down two drones "targeting the kingdom." The official said the interceptions resulted in no casualties or material damage.
