but then

The warplanes were scrambled from the Ramat David airbase. Reports of Israeli flyovers in Lebanon followed the drone's interception.

Shortly after 1 pm a drone was identified as it was flying north to south from the Lebanese coastline. The air defense system tracked for (several) minutes it while it was still in Lebanese territory, and it was tracked throughout its flight until the interception. IAF planes were scrambled, as were combat helicopters, after it was determined that the aircraft was not friendly, and certainly not (an Israeli) aircraft. The Air Force commander authorized the interception."
