Israeli media reported on Friday that the Yemeni missile that targeted "Eilat" earlier this week, without Israeli anti-air systems intercepting it, caused real concern in the occupation entity, as it was the first breach of its kind coming from the Red Sea.

A cruise missile launched from Yemen struck occupied Umm al-Rashash ("Eilat") on Monday in southern Palestine.

Israeli broadcaster Channel 13 reported that the missile circumvented anti-air systems before hitting the settlement. Highlighting the failure, the outlet's correspondent said that military aerial monitoring systems were unable to detect the missile to alert settlers of the incoming strike.

Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth wrote that the attack caused panic among "Eilat" settlers, quoting one of them as saying they "live in constant fear due to the lack of warnings, which makes them feel they do not know when the missile will fall on their heads."

Another resident complained that they are being left in the dark by their military and authorities regarding the situation, wondering if this is intentional to avoid harming tourism, adding, "There are no tourists in Eilat at the moment."

Some have even expressed "losing trust" in the anti-air systems after the event, the newspaper added.

It also pointed out the massive distance covered by the missile, noting that Yemenis have, in their arsenal, various missiles capable of carrying out this mission, including the Burkan 3, which can cross a range of over 1,000 km.

Additionally, the Yemeni military possesses missiles with a range of 1,450 kilometers, such as the Toufan missile family, which has a range between 1350 and 1950 kilometers.

According to Channel 13's correspondent, the Yemeni missile struck its target in "Eilat" after two hours of flight, carrying dozens of kilograms of explosives that could have caused a "major catastrophe".
