TEL AVIV (Sputnik) — The IDF did not report on the type of the drone or whom it belonged to.

"Moments ago 2 Patriot air defense missiles were fired towards a drone which infiltrated #Israeli airspace from #Syria. The drone infiltrated into #Israeli airspace in the central Golan Heights. Air defense fired at the drone that returned to #Syria," Peter Lerner wrote on his Twitter microblog.

Earlier in the day, media reported that air-raid sirens had been heard in the settlements in the central part of the Golan Heights.
