The IDF releases footage of last night’s interception of a drone over the Eilat area, by the ship-mounted Iron Dome air defense system, known as C-Dome.
In a statement, the IDF confirms the drone entered Israeli airspace from the east.
The target was tracked throughout the incident, and in coordination with air traffic control, a Sa’ar 6-class corvette fired interceptor missiles at the drone, downing it, the IDF says.
The Islamic Resistance of Iraq, a coalition of Iran-backed paramilitary groups, this morning claims to have targeted an unspecified “vital target” in Israel as well as the Hatzerim Airbase near Beersheba.
