The IDF was tracking it from Lebanon. The interesting part is that it was an unmanned helicopter. Iran has been working on that technology for years.
The IDF tried to take over guidance but was unable, so they degraded it.

Patriot missile? I don’t think so. It was obviously an air to air launched from the F-16 that appears in the screen from the same direction a second or two after the kaboom. It would be nuts to be that close to a target knowing that a ground launched Patriot was inbound.

[State media in Iran, Hezbollah's sponsor, said the incursion “exposed the weakness of Israel's Iron Dome anti-missile defense system” and quoted an official who said the system “does not work.” Israel's “Iron Dome” system is meant to destroy incoming rockets and artillery shells.]
Could be this drone wasn't for photo reconnaissance but to test Israel's air defense network. If the Iranians built a drone that could carry a nuke it might be the easiest way to penetrate the border.
