Israel's military on Sunday fired two Patriot missiles at a drone that "infiltrated" from war-ravaged neighbouring Syria, it said.

The missiles missed the drone which "returned to Syria" after the incident in the central Golan Heights, where the demarcation line between the two countries is located, the military said.

"Moments ago two Patriot air defence missiles were fired towards a drone which infiltrated Israeli airspace from Syria," the military said in a statement on Sunday evening.

Sirens sounded in the area.

While Israel has sought to avoid being dragged into Syria's five-year civil war, it has attacked Syrian military targets when fire from the conflict spills over into its territory.

Earlier this month, the Israeli army attacked two Syrian military targets on the Golan after stray fire damaged the security fence along the line.

In September 2014, Israel used a Patriot missile to shoot down a Syrian warplane it said had crossed the UN-patrolled ceasefire line on the Golan which it regards as its international border.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also acknowledged in April that Israel had attacked dozens of convoys transporting weapons in Syria destined for its enemy Hezbollah, the Lebanese Shiite militia.

Israel seized 1,200 square kilometres (460 square miles) of the Golan Heights from Syria in the Six-Day War of 1967 and later annexed it in a move never recognised by the international community.

Israel can't even shot down a drone? Maybe its US fault since the crappy missile is US Patriot.

Israel should dump the Patriot and develop its Davids Sling which is cheaper and better in any way.

The missiles missed the drone

- Marksmanship!

The missile is good,not the heretics ( israeli ) who operate it...

BTW,I doubt that Syria has a drone which can pose serious threat,must be a bunch of reconnaissance/surveillance UAVs ( unless Russia supplied to them )

Are you kidding me?
We are not guiding manually the missile, its all automatic, you cant blame us for it.
Media says it was a small drone that flies low and slow, making it much harder for the patriot, which is designed against planes and not small drones.

Sure you guys messed up with the missiles a bit...or atleast the guidance system...as everyone expected from you guys..

You guys don't have anything except those old Gulf-War era missiles against air targets?
And the thing was flying slowly and low,right? Why waste the patriot missiles against those? duh..


And to think that Iran still fears Israel...

Patriots were designed to shoot down fighter jets, not tiny slow flying UAVs. When Syrian Su-24 briefly entered Israel airspace it was immediately shot down. Missiles are old and will expire soon anyway. Israel will replace them with David's Sling.

As our enemy Muslims "expect" us to, that's why you lost all wars against us.

This isn't a gulf era missile.
Why waste? ask the generals.

Well,what if it was a swarm of UCAVs aimed at attacking civillian targets?

1st,you are a radical judging people by their religion,2nd you fought against some dumb oil greedy arabs who can't stop quarreling amongst each other,3rd my country never fought against israel ( only supported the arabs )

Don't compare us with some dumb oil greedy self quarrelers

This isn't a gulf era missile.
Why waste? ask the generals.

They were delivered during Gulf War to protect your civillians from Scuds of Iraq

Currently Israel does not really have an answer for in (nor any other country). But Israel is developing David's Sling system for such threats + Iron Dome should be adapted to shoot UAVs.

I wonder when you guys learn that you won't take an anti material rifle for hunting rabbit . I wonder couldn't you just use a cheap missile from iron dome ? Instead of wasting several million $ of inventories.

And what answer does Israel have for all those missiles Iran aimed at them?

* For artillery rockets (Grad, Uragan, Fajr-5 etc) we have Iron Dome.
* For mid range ballistic missiles (Zelzal, Scud, Fateh-110) and cruise missiles we are developing David's Sling which will soon enter the service.
* For long range ballistic missiles (Shahab-3 etc) we have Arrow-2 and soon also Arrow-3.

These Patriots are from First Gulf war era. I bet older than you. Iron Dome is not deployed on Golan, probably not ready still against drones.

Surely someone messed up, UCAV's maneuverability is usually pitiful. With that V tail configuration and all.

Or is the target too small for the missile to track?
They launched the wrong missile then.

It was the only available missile in the area, which, two years ago, successfully downed a hostile UAV with one shot.

Ha! Still Iran can blow all of Israel easily... -.-

OMG! The heretics actually managed to shoot down an UAV....WoW!

Heretics will never learn...

That explains their current capablity...

They don't have anything beside the ancient Patriots...The so called David Sling won't be available untill a few decades have passed,and by then,Iran would roast Israel...

These Patriots are from First Gulf war era.

I know,but the other heretical radical said...

This isn't a gulf era missile.
