The Islamic Resistance in Iraq launched three kamikaze drones targeting the southern Israeli city of Eilat, also known as Umm al-Rashrash. The drones, identified as Iranian Shahed models including the Shahed 238, were intercepted by Israeli air defenses. The attack, a significant escalation compared to past operations, triggered alarms and led to frenzied interceptions in the region. Footage shows interceptor missiles downing the drones, and the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the successful interception of two drones. The attack was claimed by Iran-backed militias in Iraq, who released videos showing the launch of the drones. Eilat, a city on the Red Sea, was the focus of this attack.
