The UAV exploded upon interception over the Red Sea, near the city.
The Red Alert hostile aircraft infiltration alarm was activated in the resort city at around 2:30 am.
“The UAV was monitored by IDF soldiers throughout the incident, and it did not cross into Israeli territory,” the IDF said in a statement. “During the incident, an interceptor was launched toward the UAV. Hostile aircraft infiltration sirens were activated in accordance with protocol.”
The Shiite Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an Iranian proxy, claimed responsibility for attacking what it said was a “vital target” in Eilat, using a UAV.
