The Israeli Air Force intercepted unmanned aircraft launched from Yemen shortly before 12:16 PM UTC today, September 11th, 2025. Official policy dictated that warnings were not activated prior to the interception, according to a statement from the Israeli Air Force's official X account. This interception occurred within the past hour, as part of ongoing regional security concerns. The source of the launch, Yemen, indicates a potential connection to Houthi activities. These developments follow earlier reports today concerning Israeli airstrikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon and the apprehension of a Hezbollah cell by the Syrian regime. These earlier actions were linked to a prisoner exchange that saw Israeli researcher Elizabeth Tzakov released. Earlier in the day, the IDF stated they had conducted airstrikes on multiple Hezbollah targets in Lebanon between 11:00 AM and 11:15 AM UTC, targeting weapons manufacturing and storage infrastructure in the Bahav area and terrorist infrastructure in a-Zararia. The IDF cited these targets as violations of understandings between Israel and Lebanon. Additionally, reports emerged around 11:05 AM UTC detailing an Israeli attack on a motorcycle in the Tzur area of southern Lebanon, which reportedly resulted in the death of Sim Said Jabid. This incident followed the IDF's announcement of their broader strikes. These actions took place after the release of Israeli researcher Elizabeth Tzakov earlier today in a prisoner exchange deal with Hezbollah. The exchange also secured the release of senior Hezbollah naval force member Imad Ahz, as reported by the Iranian Sentence Agency. The Syrian regime also announced this morning the detention of a Hezbollah terrorist cell planning attacks on the Golan Heights, preventing an imminent rocket attack, according to reports. The prisoner exchange saw Tzakov, abducted two and a half years ago in Iraq, returned to freedom in exchange for Ahz, who was apprehended during a military operation by the 13th Resistance Force.
