A UAV which was fired towards Eilat was successfully intercepted by the IDF on Wednesday evening.
“A short while ago, the IAF successfully intercepted a UAV that approached Israel over the Red Sea. The UAV did not cross into Israeli territory,” said the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit.
The pro-Iranian militias in Iraq claimed responsibility for the firing, claiming they "fired a UAV at a 'vital target' in Eilat."
Early Wednesday morning, shortly before 3:00 a.m., the IAF intercepted a UAV that was fired from the east.
The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said that no sirens were sounded in accordance with protocol.
Earlier, the Hezbollah organization's Al-Manar TV reported that pro-Iranian militias in Iraq had launched a UAV towards a target in Israel.
