At 12:48 Jerusalem time, a civil-defense alert flagged suspected hostile aircraft activity over Eilat. The initial report from reports note 'AD possibly active over Eilat,' which in IDF Home Front Command terminology signals an Air Defense (AD) radar track of a possible hostile aerial threat. No siren or public shelter order has been confirmed at this stage. The nature of the aircraft — whether a drone, missile, or false alarm — remains unclear. Eilat has been targeted by Houthi-launched drones and missiles during the current conflict, most recently in overnight salvos. This report is unverified and based on a single source.
