An attack targeted Israel's city of Eilat by air, but fortunately, there were no casualties reported, stated the military. The assault was claimed by an Iraqi militia group allegedly supported by Iran.
According to the military's announcement, a flying object launched from the eastern side of Israel struck a building in Eilat. However, details regarding the object and its source remain undisclosed. Although sirens blared in the city, no defensive measures were taken against the attack.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, identified as a militia, declared responsibility, citing the targeting of a significant location in Israel using suitable weaponry. However, no further specifics were provided regarding the incident.
Eilat has previously faced missile and drone attacks from the Houthi movement in Yemen, supported by Iran. These assaults have occurred amidst Israel's ongoing conflict with Hamas in Gaza, which has lasted nearly six months. Last November, Israel attributed a drone attack on the port city to a Syrian group.
The attack on Eilat adds to the growing concerns over regional tensions, particularly amidst Israel's ongoing conflicts and the involvement of various armed groups. The incident underscores the need for heightened vigilance and security measures in the region to prevent further escalations and protect civilian populations from potential threats.
