The Israel Defense Forces reported a series of aerial threats over the past 24 hours, as Air Force defense systems responded to UAVs and missiles targeting Israeli territory.
Between 8:58 and 9:01 a.m. on Saturday, air-raid sirens sounded in the Upper Galilee after two UAVs were detected and intercepted by the IAF. Authorities activated the sirens due to concerns over falling debris from the interceptions.
Between 8:11 and 8:12 a.m., sirens were also heard in Judea and the Dead Sea region, where several UAVs launched toward Israel were intercepted.
The IDF confirmed that additional sirens were triggered in several locations following the identification of UAVs launched from Iran. The military emphasized that the IAF continues to intercept and strike aerial threats as necessary, urging the public to follow Home Front Command instructions.
Just after midnight, sirens warned of a hostile aircraft infiltration in Eilat. The IAF intercepted a suspicious aerial target, while a simultaneous incident in the Arava area remained under review. Shortly thereafter, two more suspicious aerial targets in the Arava region were intercepted by Israeli forces.
On Friday, the IDF reported the launch of a missile from Yemen toward Israel. Sirens sounded in several areas, and the IAF’s aerial defense systems were activated to intercept the threat. According to the IDF, the missile ultimately hit in the Hebron area, and no interceptors were launched. Sirens were sounded in accordance with protocol, and the incident remains under review.
The IDF said that all incidents are under ongoing review as security forces remain on high alert. The public is urged to continue following the Home Front Command’s defensive guidelines as the IAF operates to eliminate aerial threats wherever necessary.
