The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a coalition of Iran-backed militias, claimed responsibility for a series of drone attacks targeting the southern Israeli city of Eilat on the Red Sea. The attacks, which occurred late Sunday night, involved the use of 3 new advanced drones that bypassed Jordanian and Israeli air defenses, targeting the city's naval base and causing light damage to a building. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the interception of an aerial object coming from the east, likely Jordan, and reported light damage to a structure at the naval base in Eilat, with no injuries reported. The drones, described as one-way "suicide" drones, were launched from the direction of Western Yemen, indicating a broadening of the conflict's geographical scope. Israeli media reported that one of the drones came dangerously close to hitting one of Israel's Sa'ar 6-class navy ships, highlighting the significant threat posed by these attacks. The incident marks an escalation in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran-backed groups in the region.
