The Israel Defense Forces says rocket sirens sounded in Israel’s southernmost city of Eilat a short while ago due to an air defense missile being fired at an “aerial target.”

The IDF says there was no actual infiltration into Israeli airspace.

It is unclear what the target was, or whether it was intercepted.
