Drone launched from Iraq crashes in Red Sea near Eilat
Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent
A drone launched from Iraq at Israel crashed in the Red Sea a short while ago, close to Eilat.
The IDF says the drone was identified heading toward Israel, but it impacted an “open area” in the Red Sea, before reaching Israeli territory.
The drone had been launched “from the East,” a term the IDF uses to refer to attacks from Iraq.
Locals in Israel’s southernmost city of Eilat reported seeing interceptor missiles launched amid the incident.
