Iron Dome Missile Defense System Intercepts Barrage Of Rockets Over Eilat

Sirens were herd in a Eilat last night (Wednesday), followed by loud explosions that shook the city. Local residents reported hits near the beach hotels of Eilat.

There are unconfirmed reports, that ISIS’s Sinai branch took responsibility for the rockets and declared war on Israel. The terror organization claims to have shot 7 rockets at Israel.



The IDF released a statement saying: 4 rockets were fired from Sinai, 3 of which were intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system over Eilat, and the fourth landed in the sea. There were no reports of direct hits in the city.

Four people suffered from shock and are being treated at the city’s ‘Yoseftel’ hospital.

The IDF is expected to retaliate.

Earlier today, for the first time, a tank shell fired from the Syrian side of the Golan heights landed in an open area on the Israeli side of the Golan Heights.
Sirens were not herd prior to the fall, presumably due to a technical failure.
B’’H, there were no injuries.

The shell is assumed to have been stray fire from the ongoing Syrian civil war, and not an intentional attack on Israel.

In response, the IDF retaliated by firing on military positions in the Syrian Golan heights- and identified a direct hit.
