The Times of Israel adds:
A Fox News journalist reported that the drone was Iranian, and was shot down "after flying ’too close’ to some of the 900 US troops deployed" in eastern Syria.

Drones purported to be Iranian have been shot down by Israeli forces after being flown from the direction of Syria in the past. In 2020, Israel claimed to have a foiled a massive plot involving the use of Iranian attack drones flown from the Syrian Golan into Israel.

#2  I'm also told a general officer was flying the F-15E and fired the AIM-9X.

Promote this officer immediately and assign to positions of increased responsibility.
