Arrow Defense: Israel's Shield Against Red Sea Threats

Israel's military successfully used the Arrow ballistic interceptor to shoot down a surface-to-surface missile launched from the Red Sea area. Sirens in Eilat prompted residents to seek shelter, but no damage or casualties were reported. The origin of the missile remains unidentified.

Israel's military said it used the Arrow ballistic interceptor on Monday to shoot down a surface-to-surface missile launched in the Red Sea area, after sounding sirens in the port city of Eilat to send residents to shelters.

There was no word of any damage or casualties. The military statement did not say who might have launched the missile. Eilat has come under repeated long-range attack by Yemen's Houthi rebels in solidarity with the Hamas war in Gaza. (Writing by Dan Williams)
