The drone launched from Yemen that struck an apartment building in Yavne this morning approached Israel from the Mediterranean Sea after making a long detour apparently over Egypt, according to an initial IDF probe.

It crossed into Israeli territory near the Gaza Strip and headed north along the coast toward Yavne, the probe finds.

The military says it detected the drone at several locations after it entered Israeli airspace, though it was not a continuous detection.

Because of this, the military was unable to predict its route and set off warning sirens.

A fighter jet was scrambled to shoot down the drone, though it did not have enough time and ultimately the drone struck a penthouse apartment in Yavne, causing damage.
