Israel for the first time deployed its ship-mounted defence system, called the C-Dome, against a “suspicious” target that entered the country’s airspace near the southern city of Eilat. The C-Dome is a naval version of the Iron Dome air defence system used to shield against rocket and missile attacks. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported an alert in the area of Eilat, which was targeted by intercepted ballistic missile fire from Yemen's Houthi rebels, allies of Hamas.
