Three drones launched at Israel from Iraq were shot down by Israeli air defenses over the Red Sea a short while ago, the military says.
The drones were launched “from the east,” a term the IDF uses to describe attacks from Iraq.
The Iran-backed Islamic Resistance in Iraq takes responsibility for launching them, claiming to have targeted sites in Eilat.
No sirens sounded in Eilat as the drones were shot down before entering Israeli airspace.
