The IDF says a “suspicious aerial target” that entered Israeli airspace in the Eilat area was downed by the Navy’s ship-mounted Iron Dome system, known as C-Dome.
The IDF says the target was tracked throughout the incident, and there are no damage or injuries.
C-Dome is deployed to the Navy’s Sa’ar 6-class corvettes.
It marks the first time the system has been used operationally.
