Israeli media propagates a narrative about the drone that targeted the Israeli Red Sea port settlement, "Eilat", without being detected by warning systems, saying it took off from Syria after several rockets and drones were announced, from Yemen's Sanaa.

"The UAV was launched from Syrian territory," said Israeli reporters Moriah Asraf and Doron Kadosh on their Telegram channel called Security Policy Cabinet, as they referenced the attack that targeted the occupied Umm Rashrash ("Eilat") claiming that this information emerged after  Israeli Occupation Forces "investigated the incident".

According to the reporters, the UAV "made its way over Jordan and exploded in Eilat without being detected," and the IOF "attacked the organization that launched the drone in Syria tonight."

Significantly, the Telegram channel also quoted the IOF saying "the Syrian regime is fully responsible for any terrorist act carried out from Syrian territory," and underscored this is "a direct threat to the Assad regime as well."

Yemen targets 'Eilat' with missiles, Israelis puzzled about UAV attack

The Yemeni Armed Forces launched a number of ballistic missiles at several sensitive Israeli targets south of the occupied Palestinian territories, including military targets in occupied Umm Rashrash ("Eilat"), the Yemeni Armed Forces' spokesperson, Yahya Saree, said on Thursday.

Saree confirmed that the operation "achieved its objectives successfully and resulted in direct hits despite the enemy's attempts to cover it up."

The spokesperson emphasized that the Armed Forces will continue to carry out military operations in support of the Palestinian people's just cause until the Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip ceases.

Puzzled

Prior to the statement, a drone targeted a building in occupied Umm Rashrash ("Eilat"), resulting in material damage, while the Israeli authorities claimed no casualties. Israeli media reported that sirens were not activated, prompting the settlement's mayor to express concern over the issue and request an investigation into what caused this failure.

Commenting on the operation, Israeli media outlets warned that Yemen's attempts to target the entity will continue, despite all layers of anti-missile and electronic warfare protection and military aircraft conducting patrols in the Red Sea.

The outlets added that all surveillance and detection systems to monitor air, sea, and land threats, despite being directed toward Yemen, have failed to detect the drone that reached "Eilat".

Simultaneously, Israeli Channel 13 stated that "Israel" is still "puzzled about how the drone reached Eilat."

The channel's military commentator, Alon Ben David, pointed out that the Israeli Air Force has directed all airborne and ground detection devices, as well as radar-equipped naval vessels, toward Yemen, but the origin of the drone that reached "Eilat" has not been discovered yet.
