An interceptor missile was launched over Israel’s southernmost city of Eilat a short while ago, eyewitnesses say.
No sirens sounded in the area amid the suspected drone attack.
It comes as the IDF is also tracking a drone over other areas of southern Israel. Sirens have sounded in several towns near the Gaza border and Ashkelon.
Earlier this morning, a separate drone was shot down over southern Israel.
The drones are believed by the IDF to have been launched from Yemen.
