The Israel Defense Forces says one of its fighter jets shot down a drone that was heading toward Israel, over the Red Sea.
It says the unmanned aerial vehicle did not enter Israeli airspace.
Explosions were heard in Israel’s southernmost city of Eilat amid the incident.
Earlier, the IDF fired interceptor missiles at two targets in the area, but later said it was a false alarm.
The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen have fired several ballistic missiles and drones at the city in recent weeks, all of which were intercepted or missed their target.
