The Arrow System

First Operational Interception of the Arrow System

The Israeli Air Force successfully thwarted another aerial threat in the Red Sea area after intercepting with the Arrow missile defense system. This is the second threat within hours, occurring south of Eilat, following an unmanned aerial vehicle attack that likely originated in Yemen.

The IDF announced today (Tuesday) that, for the first time since the beginning of the war, the Israeli Air Force successfully intercepted an aerial threat in the Red Sea area using the long-range Arrow missile defense system.

The IDF reported that a ground-to-ground missile launched into Israeli territory from the Red Sea region was successfully intercepted by the long-range Arrow missile defense system. Air Force detection systems tracked the missile's trajectory, and it was intercepted at the most appropriate time and location.

As previously reported, Israeli fighter jets were launched in the morning hours following an aerial threat detected in the Red Sea region. They targeted hostile objectives that were flying in the area. According to the military, all threats were intercepted outside the territory of the State of Israel. No breach of Israeli territory was identified. It is assumed that the likely source of the threat was from Yemen.

In the past two weeks, it was reported that the Houthi rebels in Yemen, who are aligned with Iran, launched a number of long-range missiles towards Eilat. These missiles were intercepted by the air defense systems of the United States and Saudi Arabia over the Red Sea. A few days ago, rockets exploded in the Taba area, south of Eilat, causing casualties and damage. The source of the rocket fire is still unclear.
