[Regnum] In Israel, an unmanned aerial vehicle was intercepted near the city of Eilat in the south of the country. It is specified that it was intercepted in the Red Sea area. The drone was launched from Yemen, but did not manage to reach the territory of the Jewish state. This was reported by the Israeli radio station Kan.

“After activating an alarm in the area of ​​the southern Israeli city of Eilat, an enemy UAV was intercepted outside Israel in the Red Sea area,” the publication said.

At the same time, the Israel Defense Forces reported on its Telegram channel that it had detected an air target approaching the country’s territory. It is noted that there are no threats or risks to civilians. The day before, the IDF reported that an air raid alert was being declared in Jerusalem and central Israel.

Since October 7, the long-standing Middle East conflict between Israel and Palestine has flared up with renewed vigor. The Palestinian Hamas movement attacked Israeli territory. In response, the country's authorities launched Operation Iron Swords, during which they managed to gain control over all the settlements previously captured by Hamas.

The IDF then began carrying out airstrikes against targets, including civilians, in Gaza. Israel announced a complete blockade of the enclave and called on its residents to move from north to south Gaza. About one million people must leave their homes.

On the morning of October 31, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the beginning of the third stage of the war with the Hamas movement. He announced the completion of the first, blocking stage. The second stage - air strikes against Hamas, according to Netanyahu, continues all the time. Stage Three: The IDF expanded its ground operations in the Gaza Strip.
