| Israeli Patriot missiles down target over Golan Heights : Israel's army |
| 2017-04-28 |
| [AlAhram] Israel's Patriot anti-aircraft missile system shot down an aerial target over the Golan Heights on Thursday, the Israeli military said. Israeli media said residents in the northern Israeli town of Safed reported seeing two missiles being launched and of kabooms occurring afterwards. It was initially unclear whether the target, which media said was an unmanned drone, was shot down over Syria or Israeli-controlled territory. The incident occurred hours after Syria accused Israel of striking a Lebanese Hezbollah guerrilla arms hub near Damascus airport, where supplies of weapons from Iran are sent regularly by air, a regional intelligence source said. |

| #4 The 'drone' term may reference a possible full size aircraft target drone. I'm assuming these can be loaded with explosives. |

| #3 Everyone is working on a cheaper way to kill drones. I'm all for the mass driver approach. |

| #2 Pricey? How big was the drone? Seems like the shotgun to mosquito approach. |

| #1 seems pricey to shoot down drones with a Patriot unless the drone was armed |
