The Israeli Air Force was put on alert in Eilat after a drone was intercepted over the city, with Israeli media speculating the attack might have originated from the side of Yemen or Iraq. The Israeli air defense array successfully intercepted both missiles and the drone, with the IDF spokesperson confirming the successful interception of a hostile aircraft in Eilat and the Eilot region by Navy forces. A Sa'ar 6 corvette was involved in firing interceptor missiles against the drone nearing Eilat. This incident marked the first operational use of the ship-mounted Iron Dome, which successfully shot down the 'suspicious' target over Eilat. The IDF confirmed the Naval Iron Dome's interception near Eilat and shared footage of the drone interception by the C-Dome system, highlighting that the drone entered Israeli airspace from the east and was tracked throughout. This event represents the first official use of a seaborne missile defense system by Israel to shoot down a drone approaching from the Red Sea, setting off sirens in the port city of Eilat.
