IDF fires interceptors over Eilat as Iranian missiles target nearby Aqaba in Jordan
Military says it shot down fragments, while its interceptor fragments landed in open area near Eilat; Israeli source tells Saudi outlet Mojtaba Khamenei 'not in Iran'
On Sunday, Israel launched interceptors over Eilat after fragments from Iranian missiles targeting Aqaba, Jordan, potentially threatened the nearby Israeli city. The missiles were reportedly intercepted by American air defense systems, with the IDF also deploying Iron Dome interceptors to shoot down fragments. No sirens sounded in Eilat, and falling fragments caused no damage or injuries. This incident occurred amidst escalating US-Iran conflict, with Iran launching missile attacks against US allies following US strikes on Iranian infrastructure. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz stated, "If Iran fires missiles at Israel, we will attack them with full force."
