In an initial statement on Telegram, in English, it was explained that procedures were followed after suspecting the presence of a hostile drone. It was added that the Israeli Air Force managed to intercept the drone launched from Yemen, noting that details are still under review.
Israeli Channel 12 had earlier announced that a drone launched from Yemen was not intercepted and successfully infiltrated the skies of Eilat, a city in southern Israel. As a result, sirens were activated according to established protocols.
Additionally, the Israeli newspaper ‘Israel Hayom’ reported that sirens were activated in Dimona in the Negev Desert in the south after a drone launched from Yemen infiltrated the area. The Yemeni Ansar Allah group has been launching attacks on Israel in support of Gaza, while Israel conducts airstrikes in areas controlled by the group, with a notable strike targeting the Prime Minister and several ministers.
