The IDF Spokesperson addressed the penetration of the unidentified object Saturday night, stating that following a thorough investigation, the emerging assessment is that it is most likely an object with characteristics of a balloon or a device floating by hot air. However, it was reported that at this stage it is not possible to definitively determine its origin or purpose - but it is not a drone or UAV and it is possible that it is an innocent object that drifted into Israeli territory. The object was identified by Air Force observers and detection systems, which tracked it and directed forces on the ground as part of handling the incident.
