Rocket sirens blare in Eilat; IDF investigating cause

Incoming rocket sirens are sounding in Israel’s southernmost city of Eilat.

The IDF says the cause of the alarms is under investigation.

The Hamas terror group has attempted to fire long-range rockets at Eilat in recent weeks, and the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen have fired ballistic missiles and drones at the city.

An Iran-backed group in Syria also launched drones at Eilat, hitting a school last week.
