Jerusalem, 22 September, 2019 (TPS) -- A drone flying from the Gaza Strip approached Israeli airspace on Sunday, causing a scare among the nearby Israeli residents.

The IDF stated that the drone flew towards Israel but did not breach Israeli airspace and subsequently retreated.

Israelis living nearby were updated on the incident.

Earlier this month, an armed drone launched from Gaza dropped an explosive device on an IDF vehicle. No one was injured in the attack and an IDF vehicle was lightly damaged, but it is considered a significant escalation.
