The Israel Defense Forces says it intercepted a “suspicious target” in the Arava region in southern Israel, north of Eilat.
The target, which did not enter Israeli airspace, was knocked out of the sky by the medium-range Patriot air defense system, the IDF says.
It is unclear what the target was.
Earlier, the long-range Arrow air defense system intercepted a surface-to-surface missile, apparently launched from Yemen, over the Red Sea near Eilat.
