Israel's Red Sea port city of Eilat came under a combined aerial attack late Sunday night, involving drones and missiles, attributed to the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a coalition of Iran-backed militant groups, and possibly involving Houthi forces from Yemen. The attacks, which included the launching of a Shahed-101 Kamikaze drone and three new advanced suicide drones from Iraq, targeted various locations including a naval base and the port area of Eilat and Hevel Eilot, causing light damage to a building near or inside of the Israeli Naval Base and nearly hitting an Israeli Navy Sa'ar 6-class corvette. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) reported intercepting a suspicious aerial target that had crossed from the east, from Jordan, towards Israeli territory, with no injuries reported. Red Alerts warned of incoming "unrecognized aircraft," and Israeli fighter jets were scrambled in response. This incident, which involved "Advanced Weapons" and demonstrated the drones' capability to bypass both Jordanian and Israeli air defenses, marks a significant escalation in the region. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq claimed responsibility for the attacks, stating they used advanced drones for the operation. The IDF has tracked similar aerial objects in the past, indicating a pattern of drone infiltrations from neighboring countries. Sounds of explosions and interceptions were reported over Eilat, and this marks the second time a drone has penetrated from Jordan since the outbreak of the war.
