The Iran-backed Islamic Resistance in Iraq takes responsibility for launching a drone this morning at Israel’s southernmost city of Eilat.

Sirens sounded in Eilat at 6 a.m. after the IDF says it identified a drone “from the east” heading toward Israel. The drone crashed before crossing into Israeli territory, according to the military.
