“Air Force soldiers successfully intercepted the threat outside Israel’s borders.”
Eilat residents reported seeing the interceptor missile:

This is why Israel needs to source weapons elsewhere than the american military industrial complex. using f18’s or f35’s for drone interception is crazy expensive. Probably 200:1 attack defense ratio. They should use Super Tucano fighter planes from Brazil or something from South Korea. These could also be used to replace all attack helicopter roles.
