Locals in Israel’s southernmost city of Eilat report seeing an interceptor missile launch from a Navy Sa’ar 6-class corvette on Sunday night.
Surveillance camera footage and other clips posted to social media show a missile being fired by the ship-mounted Iron Dome air defense system, known as C-Dome.
Sirens did not sound in the city.
The IDF has not yet commented on the incident.
