Israeli army deploys Patriot missile days after its warplanes shot down unidentified drone that flew into its airspace | Mail Online: The Israeli army has deployed a missile defence system near the Lebanese border, just days after its warplanes shot down an unidentified unmanned aircraft.

The Patriot surface-to-air missile was deployed from Israel's northern city of Haifa, an army spokesman said today.

He refused to say if the battery's deployment came in response to Saturday's drone, which was widely believed to have originated in Lebanon.
