The Israeli occupation military claimed that a drone reportedly launched from Yemen was intercepted over the Red Sea, near the city of Eilat [occupied Umm al-Rashrash], claiming that the aircraft did not enter Israeli airspace.

Israeli media cited sources as saying that the pursuit of the drone lasted 30 minutes, during which an interceptor missile was launched in Eilat to intercept it.

Following the incident, an Israeli media platform pointed out that "Israel" has not attacked Yemen since October, yet the Yemenis persist with their launches almost without interruption.

In a related context, Israeli media reported disturbances to the Global Positioning System (GPS) in the Tel Aviv area and central "Israel" following the infiltration of a drone, with sirens activated in multiple areas of occupied Palestine.

The spokesperson for the Israeli occupation military stated that sirens were activated due to the infiltration of a drone in Netivot, in the western al-Naqab, and the Gaza Envelope area.

Later, the military said the suspected drone infiltration sirens may have been a "false identification".

The latest development comes after the spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, announced on Monday the implementation of a top-tier military operation attacking a sensitive Israeli target in the Yavne, Isdud area in occupied Palestine.

Saree said in a statement that "the operation was carried out by a drone and successfully hit its target," noting that "the operation comes within the fifth phase of supporting the Palestinian Resistance."

He stressed the readiness of the YAF to confront any "Israeli aggression against our country with more top-tier military operations," noting that their support operations for the Palestinian people will not stop until the aggression stops and the siege on the Gaza Strip is lifted.

Israeli media reported that a drone made a direct impact and detonated in a ten-story building in the southern city of Yavne, Isdud. 

Footage circulated on social media showed smoke billowing from one of the top levels of the building. 

It is worth noting that sirens were not activated in the city until after the explosion was heard. 

The Israeli occupation forces said the drone was launched from Yemen and entered Israeli airspace without triggering alarms. An investigation regarding the incident will be launched to identify why the sirens were not activated.
