IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says the long-range Arrow air defense system has intercepted a surface-to-surface missile launched toward Eilat.
The missile was intercepted over the Red Sea, and there are no reports of injuries or damage in Israel.
Hebrew media shares footage apparently showing the successful interception.
