A drone launched toward Israel from Iraq was shot down by an Israeli Navy missile boat a short while ago, the military says.

Sirens sounded in Israel’s southernmost city of Eilat amid the incident.

There are no injuries or damage.

The Iran-backed Islamic Resistance in Iraq takes responsibility for the drone, claiming to have targeted Eilat.
