After Eilat sirens, IDF says it intercepted 2 ‘suspicious aerial targets from the east’
Over an hour after warning sirens sounded in Eilat, the military says air defense systems and fighter jets intercepted a pair of “suspicious aerial targets that were heading toward Israeli territory from the east,” terminology it has previously used to refer to drone attacks by Iran-backed militias in Iraq and Syria.
The Israel Defense Forces says the sirens were activated due to concerns about falling debris from the interceptors, adding that there were no injuries.
There is no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.
