Israeli Channel 13 reported on Monday that the defenses succeeded in confronting a missile launched from the Red Sea region towards the city of Eilat and the Ilot settlement, and it was destroyed in the air, while the Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced that it struck a vital target in Haifa.
Social media sites reported pictures showing the defenses intercepting a missile launched towards the city of Eilat.
The Israeli army explained in a statement that it intercepted a surface-to-surface missile through the “Arrow” system after activating sirens in the southern Eilat region. It also indicated that the incident did not cause any casualties.
The statement did not mention the party responsible for launching the missile, and no party immediately claimed responsibility for the incident.
Targeting in the city of Haifa
For its part, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced at dawn on Monday that it had launched a drone strike against a vital target in the occupied city of Haifa in response to the massacres committed by the Israeli occupation in the Gaza Strip, stressing its continued targeting of “enemy strongholds.”
Yesterday, Sunday, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq broadcast scenes of the launch of a bomb-laden drone towards the occupied city of Eilat as part of its support for the Palestinian resistance in the Gaza Strip.
In the video clip, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq sent a message to the people of the Gaza Strip, saying: “The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, from the land of burning tents to the land of burning tents, the target: Israel/Eilat/a vital target, Saturday 6/1/2024.”
For the eighth month in a row, Israel continues to launch a violent aggression against the Gaza Strip, which has so far resulted in the death of more than 36,000 Palestinians and the injury of more than 82,000 – most of them children and women – amid massive destruction of the Strip’s infrastructure.
