IDF: Fighter jet successfully downed ‘suspicious aerial target’ heading towards Israel over Red Sea

A fighter jet has successfully intercepted a “suspicious aerial target” that was heading towards Israel over the Red Sea, the IDF says.

The target, likely a drone, did not enter Israel territory so no alarms were triggered in the incident.

Residents of the southern city of Eilat report hearing loud explosions, according to Hebrew media.
