The Israel Defense Forces says a Navy Sa’ar 4.5-class missile boat intercepted a drone over the Red Sea overnight.

The military says the UAV was shot down before it reached Israel’s border, and releases footage of the interception.

The drone triggered sirens in resort city of Eilat and surrounding areas.

The Iran-backed Islamic Resistance in Iraq took responsibility for launching a drone at Eilat this morning.
